Product's homepage

Here are some key features of "Brasero":

· 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:

· all disc IO is done asynchronously to prevent the application from blocking
