Graveman è un software di masterizzazione Open Source disponibile per il sistema operativo GNU/Linux. Tecnicamente Graveman è un frontend grafico per cdrecord, mkisofs, readcd, sox, flac, dvd+rw-format, dvd+rw-tools e cdrdao. Graveman è un software libero rilasciato sotto licenza GPL.. Graveman è un software per la masterizzazione con linux, un progetto giovane che offre già tutte le più utili funzionalità, come ad esempio la possibilità di masterizzare DVD appoggiandosi a growsiofs ed il drag&drop dal File Manager. Un'alternativa a K3b, chi usa gnome infatti non dovrà appoggiarsi alle librerie qt da esso utilizzate.

It is typically easiest to use one of the GUI programs to burn a data or audio CD. These are typically graphical front ends to the command line programs cdrecord. My favorite for ease of use and creating / copying CD's is X-CdRoast. Data CD's require that a file system image be generated prior to burning. This is typically the ISO-9660 CD standard. (And there are many non-standard variants and extensions.) CD's can be burned in DAO (Disk At Once) or TAO (Track At Once) mode. The only reason to use DAO mode is when burning audio CD's. Audio CD's burned TAO will have 2 second gaps between tracks. If one is copying an entire CD, TAO mode will introduce these 2 second gaps if they do not already exist. DAO mode uses a raw CD access mode and can avoid these gaps between tracks. DVDs allow for greater storage and also support additional formats for video. This tutorial will cover audio and data CD and DVD copying, generation and burning software applications. Rip or burn a data backup CD or DVD on linux with ease.

Bonfire is an application to burn CD/DVD for the gnome desktop. It is designed to be as simple as possible and has some unique features to enable users to create their discs easily and quickly.Features include: burn / copy / erase data and audio discs, allows full editing of data discs (remove/move/rename files inside a directory, ...) as well as audio discs, handle all audio files if Gstreamer supports them, with a customisable GUI.

K3B is an application that ships in the default KDE packages in most distributions, however it’s a very useful tool that can often be overlooked. K3B is a CD and DVD burning application that makes it easy to burn data, audio and disc images onto writable CDs and DVDs. It is a very mature, stable and fully featured application. Open up K3B and you are presented with a split view, with directories listed on the left in a tree structure, the current directory’s contents on the right and a welcome page at the bottom.
