Bug#399018: nautilus-cd-burner: should use of cdrskin as an alternative to wodim for managing CD-Rs and CD-RWs

[George Danchev]

Package: nautilus-cd-burner
Version: 2.14.3-5
Severity: wishlist


Hello,

It would be nice if nautilus-cdburner (resp. brasero) could use cdrskin
as an alternative program for managing CD-Rs and CD-RWs. It provides
cdrecord-compatible options as well as its own non-cdrecord compatible
ones. You can use cdrskin as non-root user.

Currently it provides the following features:
    - TAO (Track at Once) mode
    - SAO (Session at Once) mode
    - Multi session support
    - Blanking discs
    - Audio support
    - Burnfree and speed options

Known deficiencies:
    - No DVD support yet, but this it is less appealing to emulate
    cdrecord in respect to DVD because there is already a program
    which does it clearly better -- growisofs from dvd+rw-tools package.

FYI: k3b 0.12.17-4 already uses cdrskin as an alternative to wodim.

Thanks for your time.
