XFCE 4 – CD / DVD burning

There may be the odd time when you need to create your own CD / DVD. Usually this is a one way to create install media for Debian or other GNU+Linux based distribution.

I have created my own dvds from videos from the Free Software Foundation so their video resources are in one place. DVDs can be played easily, so I am not at the mercy of a bad internet connection or filtering when promoting free software.

XFCE comes with an easy to use burner called xfburn

Firstly open up xfburn from the menu. In this case we want to burn an image.

Burn 1

Now you need to choose the iso image

Burn 2 Burn 3

Once done select the speed, usually a good idea to go about midway so I usually go for 8x speed.

Burn 4

Select other options you need, and then press burn image.

Burn 5 Burn 6

In this case the cd / dvd will eject once the process has completed.
