k3b. i love the trumpet call when it's done.

[reyfer]

K3B for the win

[Omnios]

Anything other than Win burners.

Google this:

Ubuntu Linux Free CD-R DVD-R burners

[Stew2]

K3B for me as well. Works great and the trumpet is the topper. First time I heard it I was in the living room and ran into the computer room to see what the heck made the noise :D

[Celegorm]

I like Grip.

[Polygon]

gnomebaker works fine for me...

[RAV TUX]

I like Grip.
Can Grip be used to burn distros?

[yatt]

K3B. If I could figure out how to burn an ISO with Gnomebaker, it would be my fav, but burning iso's is important.

It is the most important thing, at least for this OP.

My two favorite are K3B and Brasero (http://perso.orange.fr/bonfire/)....

I have never used GnomeBaker is it not just as easy as K3B & Braserio?

Thanks for answering my question.

Now is Grip just as easy to use to burn iso images as K3B, Brasero (http://perso.orange.fr/bonfire/), and GnomeBaker?

[RAV TUX]

What about Graveman, has anybody used Graveman?

[LookTJ]

k3b never failed me yet(unlike Brasero).

[Polygon]

never heard of it....

I use Graveman to burn my ISOs.

[init1]

It's in kwort and zenwalk.

[RAV TUX]

I use Graveman to burn my ISOs.

good to know, do you prefer it over the others?...is it as easy to use?

[RAV TUX]

anybody using Xfburn?

[AnRa]

K3B
Nautilus

You can just right-click the image file in nautilus and burn it! ;)

[deepclutch]

Gnomebaker,brasero and sometimes graveman and xcdroast wont work in my resolution(800x600) No way- k3b in Gnome Desktop

[tbroderick]

cdrecord/dvdrecord/growisofs


Ditto. cdrkit (replace cdrtools in some distros) and dvd+rw-tools.

[x0as]

cdrecord/dvdrecord/growisofs


I use the same.

I found it really easy to use, and reliable. I think there is a bug, because the first time I try to burn an ISO, it starts and then fails. The CD is still good, and it will work the other times.
To burn an ISO, select duplicate. Then make sure it is an ISO to CD copy, select the ISO from file chooser, and click start. I guess that's the hardest part, figuring out how to burn an ISO, but it wasn't that hard. What would you be using this for?

Installed Xubuntu on a friend's ancient PC. I've found Xfburn (which comes standard as part of the Xfce interface) to be a complete mystery -- how do you burn a playable music CD for God's sake!!?

The only option that exists is for data cds. I'm currently investigating another lightweight burner that doesn't rely on GNOME. At this stage XCDRoast is the forerunner.

Burning aps are essential.

[FunkyJack]

GnomeBaker is good.
Has everything you need.

[Gremlinzzz]

K3B has em all beat but i haven't tried nero for linux yet.
:guitar:

[DoktorSeven]

wodim.

If I have to have a GUI, k3b.

[diesel1]

It has to be K3B!

Diesel1.

[BOBSONATOR]

i guess i have to reinstall K3B then!

im using gnome-baker @ the moment.

[insane_alien]

my bunsen burner, especially when applied to windows install discs.

Both Gnomebaker and K3B are awesome. ;)

[deepclutch]

gnomebaker have developed/refined a lot with time.even brasero too

[tomcheng76]

K3b

[vbmds]

I run gnome but use k3b - it just seems easier to use.

[steven8]

My favorite burner is the big one on the back right hand side. It is great for cooking burgers in the big skillet.

For everything else, I use Gnomebaker.

[AndyCooll]

I used to say K3B. However, these days days I don't do much burning and the one built in to Nautilus perfectly suits my needs.

:cool:

[ThinkBuntu]

K3B in KDE, and generally I find K3B to be the best. But in GNOME I do fine with Brasero.

[tcoffeep]

Gnomebaker for CD images, and Serpentine for Audio Cd's

[BWF89]

Windows - CD Burner XP Professional
Macintosh - Toast 8 or Burn
Linux - K3B

[xpod]

I just use right click & "write to disk" for what i need most of the time.:)
I dont really burn so much stuff for watching anymore,TVout saves all the hassle.

Other than that though i generally use Brasero

I did have a Raleigh Burner as a kid.....right proper BMX bandit i thought was,until i near killed myself one day.

[Foxmike]

Well, I like K3B for it's integration with Digikam or Amarok, tho. For any other things under GNOME, I use Brasero but I have no clue how it compares to GnomeBaker (and I am very interested to know ;))

I'm also wondering how the built-in Nautilus burning compares to those dedicated burning applications? To be avoided, or does it does the job right?

Thanks!

Interesting in Linux the big 3 appear to be:

(in random order)
1. K3B
2. Brasero
3. GnomeBaker

in Windows(when I used to use it) I found the best to be:

ImgBurn (http://imgburn.com/)
