DVD burner software

On linux you can use brasero. If you are using the GNOME desktop, brasero is installed by default. The menu entry is in Applications > Sound & Video. If not there, you will have to install the application:

  • Open up your package manager (synaptic, gnome-packagekit, software center). This example continues with synaptic:
  • Search for "brasero"
  • Mark the brasero entry for installation
  • Click Apply (or Install) to start the installation.
