jCDWriter [download page] [Home Page]
jCDWriter is a free software for recording CDs on Linux (works on Windows also if you do not mind doing some tweaks to get cdrecord and mkisofs working). jCDWriter depends on 'cdrecord' and 'mkisofs' in the background. It is written in Java so it also requires JRE to be installed. I will try my best to keep this document up-to-date and useful.
- Can create custom CD-R(W) using drag-n-drop style user interface.
- Create custom directories and drag files/folders into them.
- Save and load your CD layout.
- Scan your CD-Recorders at click of a button. (No need to specify devices like 0,0,1 or /dev/scd0 etc.,)
- Create CD images in the popular .iso format. Which you can mount as a local file system by doing 'mount -o loop /mnt/iso mycd.iso'.
- Burn your favorite downloaded Linux distributions to a CD or ISO images you created using jCDWriter..
- Can burn directly to a CD-R(W).
- Can erase CD-RW disks.
