Free burning software for linux

Konqueror Burning Sidebar is a KDE ioslave and sidebar that lets you create and burn CDs or DVDs from Konqueror. K3b provides most of the backend.

(Used to be called kio_burn)

The sidebar currently supports burning data and audio CDs.

Quick start guide:

The interface for version 0.8 is very different to previous versions. This page explains how to use the new interface.

Firstly, install the package. If you are using the source package this is done with something like

$ configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ su -c "make install"

Note that you need to set the "prefix" directory to be the one where KDE is installed.
Close all Konqueror windows you have open, hit Alt-F2, type "killall konqueror" and click "run".

Now open up a new Konqueror window. If it is not already visible, hit F9 to show the sidebar. Hopefully you will now see a yellow CD icon in one of the sidebar buttons on the left. If not, left click below the buttons and select Add New -> CD Writer. If this does not work, you may need to use "Rollback to system default".

Burncenter is a very easy-to-use text-based interface to cd-burning tools under UNIX (cdrecord, cdda2wav, mkisofs).
Main features:
- easy to use text interface
- non-interactive frontend (useful for scripts)
- transparent multi-session support
- creation of audio cd from WAVE, OGG or MP3 files, or from playlists
- data and audio cd copy support
- cdrw support (fast and complete blanking)
- small perl module, designed to simplify access to cdburners

J Operating System is primarily intended for programmers.
Target Users:
- Hobbiests--You used to buy computers to do programming. They didnt do much else. Windows doesnt even come with a compiler, which is ironic since Bill Gates wrote BASIC. The "J" operating system is primarily intended for programmers. Ive attempted to lower the bar, so amateurs can contribute. I hope to recreate the dynamic environment that used to exist when the Commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating odd-ball software.
- Researchers--Im sure many lab researchers still use DOS because they have to interact with hardware, which is difficult with Windows.
Main features:
- No security! You can access all ports, memory and disk blocks to your hearts content. When youre working with your own computer, security just gets in the way and makes things slow--I hate anti-virus and anti-spyware because they just slow things down. When you know you dont have a risk, have no secrets and do regular back-ups, who needs security?
- Uniformity
- There is no virtual memory and everyone is on the same address-map. You can easily communicate between tasks, passing addresses. Addresses start at a base of zero and, essentually, segment registers are not used.
- There is basically one language to learn called "C+" which is a little more than "C", but less than "C++". You dont need to learn a scripting langauge because everything uses this syntax.
- There is an extension of ASCII called "J" rich text which allows colors, links, graphics and various widgets in your documents. This format is used in source code, documents, help, menus, etc.
- Support for compressed, encrypted and contiguous files.
- FAT32, FAT12 and ISO9660 filesystems.
- Blazing-fast compiler which can recompile everything in 5 seconds. It doesnt optimize.
- All source code is included and its still around a Meg.
Hardware:
- PS/2 mouse and keyboard
- VGA graphics
- Some hard drives. Must be on the primary or secondary IDE controller and support LBA28. Drives of 120Gig are the limit.
- Some CD-ROM/DVD drives, including burning.
- Some floppies. Just 1.44Meg and not all types.
- No USB support yet
- No network support yet
- ASCII printers on the parallel port are supported.

Mount ISO Image is an advanced script which allows to perform multiple operations with ISO, NRG (Nero Burning ROM), UDF (DVD), CUE/BIN, CCD/IMG/SUB (CloneCD), XDVDFS (XBOX) images.
Mount/unmount operations can be performed in two different ways: using kdesu or sudo. During the installation youll be offered to choose a variant to use.

Right-click an ".ISO" file, choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Calculate MD5 sum" and wait for completion - it may take several minutes for a standard 650 Mb image on a slow machine.
Create ISO/UDF image from directory:
Right-click a folder that you wish an ISO or UDF image to be created from and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO (or UDF) image". Image will be created either in parent directory of this folder (if user is allowed to write there) or on the Desktop.

Right-click any suitable directory (resulting file will be stored there), select "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO-image from CD-ROM" and select the name of ISO image in the filename selection dialog. If it suggests you put the resulting image on the Desktop instead of the selected directory, it means that current user has no permission to write in this directory.

webCDwriter can be used to make the CD- and DVD-writer(s) connected to a Linux box available to all users in your network.
It consists of the server CDWserver and the clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the CD-writer using cdrecord.
webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs within your browser or by Java Web Start, assists you when putting together a CD, and transmits the files. Finally rcdrecord is a command line client that tries to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the network with full multi-user support.
Main features:
- multi user support
- the client webCDcreator can run as a JavaTM Web Start application or as an applet within your browser
- fully web-based - no installation on the clients
- supports data CDs, audio CDs and multisession
- use the image of a bootable floppy to make a bootable CD for PCs
- the ISO image of data CDs is created while burning (saves time and disk space)
- MP3 decoding for audio CDs using mpg123
- multi writer support (connected to the same server) burning independent sessions
- export of server directories
- verifying the CD after writing it (optional)
- copying a data CD in a CD-ROM drive on the server "on the fly" to the CD-writer
- user accounts
- upload the files from one machine and burn them by another one
- command line client rcdrecord
Internationalization:
- Catalannew, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Korean and Spanish web pages
- Catalannew, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sloveniannew, Spanish and Swedish messages in webCDcreator
- If you get empty boxes instead of the characters, try to modify your font.properties file.
- Note: Chinese and Korean support is still experimental. I need feedback on this!
