Hi, > I just have not found a command-line tool that is convenient enough to use.
Well, convenience is a relative thing. > I need: > - data CDs / DVDs / BDs I could offer you xorriso. http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso It is entirely specialized on ISO 9660 filesystems which it puts onto optical media or into disk files. Many distros have it in package "libisoburn", because its implementation is part of that library. > - audio or mixed CDs I could offer cdrskin for pure audio. Mixed CDs need CD-XA format. For that you will have to resort to cdrecord or wodim. > - sometimes bootable DVDs / CDs xorriso produces the installation ISO images for Debian and Ubuntu. It is the ISO producer used by GRUB2 tool grub-mkrescue. Afaik, they all use it by its mkisofs emulation interface, to ease their migration from mkisofs. The capabilities of xorriso surpass those of mkisofs when it comes to modern hybrid layouts of bootable ISO 9660. > a tool to use Lightscribe. I am rather > surprised there are no programmes at all for this purpose in Debian. I think one of my burners could do LightScribe but i have no suitable media. Also it looks miserably inferior to printable media, which are easy to purchase and allow color printing. The reason for no support in Debian is possibly in the license agreements like on http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx?id=816 HP skillfully avoids to disclose the SCSI commands by which the burner is told what to do. But that would be the base for me being interested in implementing it. That said, did you already try this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qlscribe/ Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
