Hi,

which (GUI) tool do you use for burning Blu-Ray-disks?

Since I don't use KDE nor GNOME, I'd prefer something like TkDVD or the
good old xcdroast. What has to fixed for these tools to enable them
burning a Blu-Ray disk? Is it just the missing capacities which are not
listed?

   


It might be worth the time to learn to use the command line tools, then 
you would know what the tools are really doing. I've been bitten by GUI 
tools which don't actually *do* anything, but call the command line 
tools to do it for them. And if something changes under them, you don't 
even get a warning, just a coaster.


Then you get distributions which trick you and put bogus programs of 
their own devicing installed with the names of working programs. The 
most common case is a bogus 'cdrecord' which is actually something 
called 'worful' or maybe 'woodn' or something like that. Best program 
for making BD-coasters ever, but for saving data not so much.

At least one will be nearer to the software that does the actual job of
controlling the burner.

Even the maintainers of cdrkit agree that one should not use wodim for
burning DVD or BD media.

The grand master of DVD burning is growisofs. I put effort in the goal
of having my own programs performing not worse than that.
(With BD-R, i think growisofs is too much a devotee of Defect Management
 and pseudo-overwriting.)


Have a nice day :)
