Used wodim to burn ISO to CD-R, no error output, but CD is still blank

Hello everyone, this is my first post. My problem is the following:
I want to burn an ISO file to a CD-R, blank, 700MB. The file is 544KB so the CD should be just fine. I tried with wodim and cdrecord. Same issue. The process is finished without any error output, but in the end, nothing is written, the cd remains blank. I tried with other .iso files, but it's just the same. By the way, I'm already inside the folder that contains the ISO, so I don't have to write the full path to file. First I scanned the drives:

[root@Narciso plpbt-5.0.15]# cdrecord -scanbus

So I did:

And the CD is still blank. I tried with -sao, -tao, -dao, and nothing happens. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? You can answer in your natural language, english, spanish, german, french, it's ok for me. I would really appreciate your help.

Please wrap shell IO in code tags.
