Hi, whatever goes wrong with Xfburn, it is not the recording speed. Audio CDs are a digital medium, after all. The replay speed is defined by the data. What you report looks like a problem with the...

Hi,

i forgot to ask you to post a final comment to
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1434549 which states that the problem
was in the lack of EFI boot lures: EFI System Partition for USB stick,...

Hi,

I'm the developer of xorriso. So i am also to blame for the complications,
for which the only excuse is the complicated world of firmwares for which

Hi,

you omitted the modifying options for the -b boot image:


-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \

By the lack of -no-emul-boot, you asked for marking the BIOS boot image
as...

Hi,

your ISO still has no EFI equipment while your firmware is "UEFI x86_64".
It would boot with legacy BIOS as firmware from (virtual) USB stick and
from (virtual) CD-ROM.

To enable booting...

Hi,

your genisoimage run does not produce boot lures for EFI which would lead
to GRUB, but only boot lures for legacy BIOS which would lead to ISOLINUX.
So the fact that you see in

Hi,

it is not a surprise that libburn is installed, as it is the only
burn backend which Xfburn and xorriso are willing to use. Brasero might
use it too. K3B would do indirectly if using cdrskin...

Hi,

the message "Cannot reserve track of ... bytes" in the Xfburn screenshot
probably stems from libburn. It gets emitted by libburn only if DVD+R,
DVD-R, or unformatted DVD-RW have been...

Hi,

at least during above xorriso run, the permissions sufficed to communicate
with the burner drive. The drive states to be able to burn CD media, but it
also states that it sees no medium.

Hi,

can you show such a refusal message literally ?
(Only then it is possible to search it in the program's code.)

The writer should indeed be able to burn audio CDs. So the message might...

Hi,

the decisive message is from growisofs

This is a problem between drive and medium, with some hope...

Hi,

your xorriso run does not mark EFI boot equipment, but only the software
for booting via BIOS. You probably need to do what is described in

Hi, normally Brasero should be able to convert MP3 automatically to the uncompressed CD-DA format. The web says that it uses program gstreamer for that. Whatever, a wrong audio input format is not...

Yes. A DVD+R can have three states: Blank, Appendable, Closed.
Blank means it is yet unused....

Hi,

about Ubuntu ISOs and its bootloaders.

It is of course possible and usual to install GRUB on your hard disk as
boot loader for being started by PC-BIOS firmware. It is also possible to...

Hi,

just to avoid the impression that i bailed out of this thread:
sudodus and i are discussing the mkusb/Debian issue in private mails now.

Have a nice day :)

Hi,

yes, Debian can be quite a closed clam. But debian-cd and debian-live
should be interested in such a tool. I myself am upstream programmer and
"sponsored" uploader of my own software. So i...

This is indeed a suitable tool to put any USB stick bootable GNU/Linux ISO

That would have been if the DVD was in some way readable and had been
