Brasero is a program for writing data and audio CDs and DVDs. Start the program from the main menu or by entering the command brasero. The following sections brief you on how to start a basic burning process to get your first Linux-made CD or DVD.

Creating a Data CD or DVD

After starting Brasero for the first time, the main window appears as shown in Figure 29.1. To create a CD or DVD, click on Data project.

The project view appears. Drag and drop the desired directories or individual files either from your file manager or by clicking on Add. To show your directory structure directly in Brasero, select View+Show side panel. Save the project under a name of your choice with Project+Save As.... After you are finished, click Burn.

A new dialog box appears where you can select the disc device to write to. Alternatively you can save your CD or DVD as a ISO image file. Give your CD or DVD a name in Label of the disc, decide if you need compatibility with Windows systems and finish with Burn.

An overview of the dialog box can be seen at Figure 29.2.
