I have not done this but think you should be looking into making a
multi-session DVD. This should be easy.
Method 1 (should be easy and direct):
Just burn the original DVD image with growisofs in multi-session mode
(the default):
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
You should then be able to directly add your new files with:
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files
Method 2 (probably more appropriate for a CD image):
Use mkisofs to create a second session .iso file. Something like:
mkisofs -o second.iso -C <something> -M image.iso -R -J /more/files
You might need to burn the first session and use burncd/cdrecord or
something to get the magic numbers for the -C option.
