Brasero is a GNOME program for writing data and audio CDs and DVDs. Start
the program from the main menu or by entering the command
<span class="command"><strong>brasero</strong></span>. The following sections brief you on how to
start a basic burning process to get your first Linux-made CD or DVD.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="23.1. Creating a Data CD or DVD"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.brasero.creating"></a>23.1.

After starting Brasero for the first time, the main window appears as
shown in
<a class="xref" href="cha.gnome.burn.html#fig.brasero.main" title="Figure 23.1. Main View of Brasero">Figure 23.1</a>.
</p><div class="figure"><a name="fig.brasero.main"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 23.1.

To create a data CD or DVD, proceed as follows:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Data project</span> or select <span class="guimenu">Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">New Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">New
Data Project...</span> from the main menu. The project
view appears.
</p></li><li><p>
Drag and drop the desired directories or individual files either from
your file manager or by clicking on <span class="guimenu">Add</span>. To show
your directory structure directly in Brasero, select <span class="guimenu">View</span>+<span class="guimenu">Show Side Panel</span> or press <span class="keycap">F7</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Optionally, save the project under a name of your choice with
<span class="guimenu">Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">Save As...</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Name your medium. The original label is <span class="guimenu">Data disc
(...)</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Choose the method: on CD/DVD, or in an ISO image file.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Burn...</span>. A new dialog box appears, depending
on what type you have selected in the last step:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="bullet"><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p title="CD/DVD"><b>CD/DVD. </b>
You can define some parameters. like the burning speed or where to
store temporary files. Furthermore, Brasero lets you activate, if
you want to burn it directly and eject the medium after burning.
</p></li><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: disc"><p title="ISO Image"><b>ISO Image. </b>
Specify a filename for your ISO image file.
</p></li></ul></div></li><li><p>
Start the process with <span class="guimenu">Burn</span>.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect1" title="23.2. Creating an Audio CD"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.brasero.creatingaudiocd"></a>23.2.

Basically, there are no significant differences between creating an audio
CD and creating a data CD. Proceed as follows:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Select <span class="guimenu">Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">New
Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">New Audio Project</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Drag and drop the individual audio tracks to the project folder. The
audio data must be in WAV or Ogg Vorbis format. Determine the sequence
of the tracks by moving them up or down in the project folder.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Burn</span> to open the Disc burning setup dialog
box.</p></li><li><p>
Specify a drive to write to.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Properties</span> to adjust burning speed and other
preferences. When burning audio CDs, choose a lower burning speed to
reduce the risk of burning errors.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Burn</span>.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect1" title="23.3. Copying a CD or DVD"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.brasero.copying"></a>23.3.

To copy a CD or DVD, proceed as follows:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Disc Copy</span> or go to <span class="guimenu">Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">New Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">Copy
Disc...</span>. The CD/DVD copy options dialog box
opens.
</p></li><li><p>
Specify the source drive you want to copy.
</p></li><li><p>
Specify a drive or image file to write to.
</p></li><li><p>
If necessary, change the burning speed, the temporary directory and
other options in <span class="guimenu">Properties</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Copy</span>.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect1" title="23.4. Writing ISO Images"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.gnome.writingiso"></a>23.4.

If you already have an ISO image, click on <span class="guimenu">Burn image</span>
or go to <span class="guimenu">Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">New
Project</span>+<span class="guimenu">Burn Image...</span>. Choose
the medium and writer and change parameters, if necessary, by clicking
<span class="guimenu">Properties</span>. Choose the location of the image file with
the popup menu, labeled <span class="guimenu">Path</span>. Start the burning
process and click <span class="guimenu">Burn</span>.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="23.5. Creating a Multisession CD or DVD"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.brasero.multisession"></a>23.5.

Multisession discs can be used to write data in more than one burning
session. This is useful, for example, for writing backups that are
smaller than the media. In each session, you can add another backup file.
One note of interest is that you are not only limited to data CDs or
DVDs. You can also add audio sessions in a multisession disc.
</p><p>
To start a new multisession disc, do the following:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Start with a data disc first as described in
<a class="xref" href="cha.gnome.burn.html#sec.brasero.creating" title="23.1. Creating a Data CD or DVD">Section 23.1, “Creating a Data CD or DVD”</a>. You cannot start with an audio
CD session. Make sure that you do not fill up the entire disc, because
otherwise you cannot append a new session.
</p></li><li><p>
Click on <span class="guimenu">Burn</span>. The <span class="guimenu">Disc Burning
Setup</span> opens.
</p></li><li><p>
Select <span class="guimenu">Leave the disc open to add other files later</span>
to make the disc multisession capable. Configure other options if
needed.
</p></li><li><p>
Start the burning session with <span class="guimenu">Burn</span>.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect1" title="23.6. For More Information"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.brasero.moreinfos"></a>23.6.
