Since switching to CRUX and finding that the version of xfburn in the repositories, my CD burner of choice, doesn’t work and also pulls in huge amounts of xfce in order to install, I’ve been pondering over a replacement. Memorising commands to do it by hand from the command line is a pain because it’s fiddly, so I’m pleased to have come across a neat frontend, burn-cd. It’ll do ISOs, data, music and video to CD and DVD, though DVD video decoding/encoding is a pain under GNU/Linux that I don’t know how to do; since discovering recently that my parents’ TV has USB ports and seems to be able to decode anything, I’m not too concerned anymore.
