DVD/CD has no longer that much importance in our lives, but still very useful in many cases specially the bootable DVD/CD, even though the Linux based OS can be booted/installed from a USB other OS(e.g Windows) still uses it.
On Ubuntu 10.04(Lucid Lynx) or 10.10(Maverick Meerkat,the latest stable version) or Ubuntu 11.04(Next Version), you can find a lot of DVD burning softwares in the Ubuntu Software Center(USC), but what is the best among them ? Actually it is a very difficult question to answer because in most of the cases, it depends on the type of work. That’s why this post will introduce you with a free and open source dvd burning software, that you can use to burn DVD’s quickly in a reliable way.

How to install Brasero on Ubuntu

April fools! Brasero is buggy trash.
brasero is a bogus application
brasero is a bogus application
i can burn dvd successfully but it can’t create disk image
You really shouldn’t be promoting Brasero – it’s probably the worst DVD burner that’s possible. it’s based on buggy libraries from a broken an unsupported forked DVD library and there’s little chance that any of the long-standing, showstopper bugs will ever get fixed.
Sorry — I guess I’m overly partial to k3b, ever since I discovered it while playing with KDE 3.5 (Kubuntu) in a Wubi install on my old Lenovo M55 desktop in the autumn of 2009. Some of us have our faves, it goes without saying. BZT
