f/oss dvd iso burning software

Titan485 · 11-11-2006, 06:41 PM

Err, I've been looking for this, I want to burn my debian to dvds, but I can't find any decent software that can burn dvd iso images... and I've given up on Micro$oft, they don't even have proprietary dvd iso burners... :<

Know any?

I've never had a problem with k3b
I think there is a version of nero for linux too.

Well, Nero on Windows doesn't do dvd iso's to the extent of my knowledge...
k3b is nice, however, my computer isn't always the happiest with it, and the disks seem to be defective too much of the time. I'll try it though.

Thanks

k3b sometimes works well, and, if you use the GNOME desktop, there's a Nautilus CD-burner plugin that might do it for you.

And since Novell and M$ seem to be sharing a bed now, perhaps you can wait a bit for SuSE-Windo$ to add one that for which you can pay.</snide>

I've liked openSuSE very much, but I had to do alot of initial fixing to undo all the stuff they broke. I hope their deal with microsoft doesn't taint it too much, but theres always debian, ubuntu, fedora core, and DSL to run to....

For some reason my cd drive is screwed up so I'm just going to ftp my dvd iso files up to my server and then retransfer onto the M$ machine, so all should be well, thanks everyone.

Nero works pretty well with DVD isos. I've used it a few times over the last few months to burn Linux dvd isos from someones Windows machine. K3b also works very well and I have had great success using it.
