Use Brasero to Burn CD/DVD in Ubuntu Linux

CD/DVD burning has been made very easy with the help of Brasero which comes by default in latest Ubuntu releases. It is a well known CD and DVD writing (‘burning’) application which is famous for its simple interface.

You can launch it from Applications > Sounds & Videos > Brasero Disc Burning. It allows for editing of the disc contents and can easily remove, rename and move files and folder. There are five types of projects which you can create in it. Audio Project is used to create audio CD/DVD that can be playable on any computer, Video Projects creates video CD/DVD, Burn Image is used to burn any existing image to CD, Disc Copy let you copy contents of one disk to another, and Data Project creates a data CD/DVD, with any type of files you want.

  1. I used Brasero and it burned WAV files to the audio CD. Of course, CD drives in a car aren’t going to read that. Why would it put WAV files on an audio CD? Is that supposed to be a feature, to waste audio discs?

  2. Brasero is a crap program. You cannot add iso files to create a DVD. It will burn ONE iso file at a time but you can’t add them together.

  3. My computer is equipped with two CD/DVD/RW drives.I'd like to make a direct copy from one disk on one drive to the other.I can't find the way to get Brasero to give me that option, or even recognize thewriteable drive when it's been inserted. It keeps insisting on writing to anImage File in my home directory called Brasero.tocIt says “Please Insert a recordable CD or DVD if you don't want to write to an image file.” but when I insert the blank disk in the other drive, Brasero doesn't seem to recognize that I've done so.Is there a step I'm missing?Thanks in advance.JPW
