Artificial Intelligence Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Quick question: Which CD-burner do you think is "best" for Linux? Edited August 24, 2004 by Artificial Intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Any standerd internal cd burner will work. It's the usb ones which may give you a few problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 K3B It's good andI think it's the most widely used in KDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 K3BIt's good andI think it's the most widely used in KDE. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been using K3B and it generally works great (the UI is very similar to Nero Burning ROM which I use on my windows machine, so that's a bonus), however I keep havinga problem where once in a while it'll tell me that the CD was burned successfully 1s after starting, even though as far as I can tell it did nothing. This may not be a K3B issue since it's mostly a user interface to drive the slew of command line based programs that are used to burn CDs, but I sometimes find myself transferring a file over to my windows machine to burn in there rather than deal with a K3B failure again. Once it fails it gerenally takes a full reboot of the machine to fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I've never managed to get K3B to work myself...I try it every once in a while...and it always fails, so I always end up back with GCombust...I trust GCombust...it works...always :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also assume that it should work under KDE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeDubb Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 i have to add another vote for k3b. Of course, this is all personal preference. You see, unlike windows, there's realy only one set of cd burning programs for linux. And anything you can do through any X program can also be done through the command line given a certain minimum level of skill. What does that mean for you? Well, it means that the only real differences between burning programs are how many of the possible command line functions are covered, and how well you like the interface. I find that k3b has just about everything and as several other have pointed out, it looks and feels a heck ofa lot like nero, which IMO is a very good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 K3B doesn't feel ANYTHING like Nero to me...feels more like Roxio Easy CD Creator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
