Burning Media. The focus of this video is the so-called writing or burning of data specifically to blank recordable CDs and DVDs. There are two basic scenarios associated with the process, assuming you have a CD/DVD writer and appropriate blank media. The first scenario is based on the use of an ISO archive file. These are the same files that you can download when you're downloading CDs or DVDs of Fedora 11, as well as most other Linux distributions. The second scenario assumes that you want to create a backup, say from files on your home directory to the relatively stable media afforded by CDs and DVDs. In either case, for the Command Line geeks among you, these media burning applications are fairly complex front ends to the CD Record Command which, despite its name, also works for DVDs. Now let's take a look. On the GNOME Desktop Environment the CD burning application is integrated with the Nautilus File Browser. It's known as Brasero. I look at an ISO file, I right-click it, and I select Open with Disc Burner, which opens an image burning setup window which confirms that I've selected the right image as well as a disk to write to. If I haven't inserted a blank disc it would confirm it here. If I have more than one CD/DVD writer I could select from them. I click Properties and I can select how the file is to be burned to the media. You can select the Fedora Media Burning application more directly. Click Applications, Sound and Video, Brasero Disc Burner. As you can see from its main window it's a versatile tool. It can help you setup an audio CD, say from another audio CD. It can help you set up a data backup, perhaps of your home directory. If you were to click Video Project you could set up a Video DVD, say from files you copied, I presume legally, from another video DVD, or you could do a straight Disc copy. If you have only one CD/DVD video device the Disc copy option gives you the chance to make a transition file which, in fact, would be an ISO file. Of course, you could burn an image, an ISO file, directly to the CD/DVD. Over and above Brasero I personally like the K3B Burning application. Yes, it's a KDE disc burning application, but hey, I like the KDE Desktop Environment. If installed you can also run it from the GNOME Desktop Environment Ð just click Applications, Sound and Video, K3B.
