Introduction
Brasero is a CD and DVD writing ('burning') application. Since Ubuntu 8.04, it has been installed by default.
Usage
Applications > Sound & Video > Brasero Disc Burning

The startup screen shows different projects and other tasks you can start. The main ones allow you to burn:
- Data discs
- Audio discs
- Video discs
- Disk 'images' (e.g. Linux distributions)
- Copies of discs
Brasero can erase a rewritable disc so it can be used again: Tools > Erase... There is also a basic cover editor available: Tools > Cover Editor.
Hints & Tips
There are four plugins that come with Brasero by default in Ubuntu:
- File Checksum - check the integrity of files on a disc.
- Image Checksum - check the integrity of a disc image.
- local-track - lets you burn network files.
- normalize - gives audio CDs have a consistent sound level.
