Free dvd discs software for linux

boot-dvd project contains a couple of Perl-scripts that can be used to create a custom DVD-ISO image (to be burned), that contains user selected Linux boot/live-CD images (only ISOLINUX boot loader supported) in a handy GRUB menu.
Enhancements:
- Many updates and bugfixes were made.

The Quon DVD Database is a complete solution to manage your movies. Highlights of this program include user tracking, barcode scanner support, user access, a login system, and an advanced searcher.
Quon DVD Database can check DVDs in and out of your collection, allowing you to keep track of which of your friends has them. You can send reminder email messages, or they can simply log in to see what they have checked out.
Enhancements:
- An issue with ordering on a few pages has been fixed.
- The system is forced use the OLD_PASSWORD system, so that when someone moves their database from one host (using an old version of MySQL) to a new one (using a new version of MySQL), the passwords of the existing users wont have to be recreated.

dvd-slideshow makes a DVD-compatible slideshow video with menus from a batch of pictures.
dvd-slideshow project consists of a set of scripts: dvd-slideshow reads a text file list of all the pictures you want in one slideshow and creates a DVD-compatible MPEG movie with your audio tracks and specified timing.
It supports effects such as fades, crops, and the Ken Burns effect. dvd-menu makes a top-level DVD menu with the output files from dvd-slideshow. dir2slideshow makes a dvd-slideshow input file from a directory of pictures.
gallery2slideshow makes the input file from your Gallery album. jigl2slideshow makes the input file from your jigl album. The output is fed through dvdauthor to create DVDs.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a few major bugs with newer versions of ImageMagick (6.2.2 and higher) that showed up primarily when using the KenBurns effect.
- There are other bugfixes and improvements that should make this more compatible with the wide variety of Linux systems out there.
- Note that the title keyword has changed, so if you re-run your old slideshows, "title" will have to be changed to "titlebar" for the same behavior.
- The title keyword just displays the text in the middle of the screen.

DVD-Vault provides an achive software to manage DVD jukeboxes (SCSI medium changers).
DVD-Vault is an implementation of a filesystem archive that makes a DVD SCSI library with multiple pieces of DVD-R or DVD-RAM media look like a single large file system.
A library with 1000 pieces of 4.7Gbyte media can be addressed as a 4700GByte file system with SCSI-robotic mounting and unmounting of media as required.
Users of UniTree (HPSS), AMASS, METIOR, and MagnaVault may recognize how this program works.
It has been tested with an ASACA 250 and 1450 and the Sony/Kubota 64-slot PD (blu-ray) library.
Enhancements:
- Binary and source code have been broken apart into two different files.
- DMAPI code now "punches" holes in files, rather than truncating the files. This makes file sizes transparent, which is really helpful for Windows clients.
- disk_scrub has been implemented to reclaim optical disk space when files are deleted.
- The MCLIB routines have support for Qualstar tape libraries.
- Batch_migration is in the binary RPM to support WORM media (BD-R, DVD+R).
- Tape stage support is in the stage program
- Purge is replaced with purgefile to support the new DMAPI code.
