HowTo: Brasero

Here's another simple Gnome CD/DVD burning application.

Brasero CD/DVD Burning Linux Software

Brasero, simple and easy to use yet another GNOME CD/DVD burning application for the Gnome desktop.

Features

* Supports multiple backends: cdrtools, growisofs and libburn(optional).
Note: compiling against libburn is _not_enough. You need to activate the backend through GConf editor at "/apps/brasero/config/libburn_burn and /apps/brasero/config/libburn_iso"

* Data CD/DVD: supports edition of discs contents (remove/move/rename files inside directories)
* can burn data CD/DVD on the fly
* automatic filtering for unwanted files (hidden files, broken/recursive symlinks, files not conforming to joliet standard, ...)
* supports multisession
* supports joliet extension
* can write the image to the hard drive
* can check disc file integrity

* Audio CD: write CD-TEXT information (automatically found thanks to gstreamer)
* supports the edition of CD-TEXT information
* can burn audio CD on the fly
* can use all audio files handled by Gstreamer local installation (ogg, flac, mp3, ...)
* can search for audio files inside dropped folders
* full edition of silences between tracks

* CD/DVD copy: can copy a CD/DVD to the hard drive
* can copy CD and DVD on the fly
* supports single-session data DVD
* supports any kind of CD

* Others: erase CD/DVD
* can save/load projects
* can burn CD/DVD images and cue files
* song, image and video previewer
* device detection thanks to HAL
* file change notification (requires kernel > 2.6.13)
* a customisable GUI (when used with GDL)
* supports Drag and Drop / Cut'n'Paste from nautilus (and others apps)
* can use files on a network as long as the protocol is handled by gnome-vfs
* can search for files thanks to beagle (search is based on keywords or on file type)
* can display a playlist and its contents (note that playlists are automatically searched through beagle)
* all disc IO is done asynchronously to prevent the application from blocking
