@Ahau
I agree
for burning an iso or data-backup from time to time
burnbox will be good enough if every offered option
works as expected. :wink:

well Ahau for gtk environment xfburn work if you use it as a standalone software with libburn no problem with data,but if i have to do a hit list from a mp3 folder i have to use gstreamer plugin. i have used a lot sox with another burning software but this is a bit outdated,so if the point is a kiosk edition no problem with it, but user can do everything with a whole system.k3b is part of kde so this software have to stay within kde.ps:btw if you have skill with cli not problem to do a cd without gui

@beny

(not problem to do a cd without gui)

yes for you and me
but what if you give porteus to your neighbors?
would you like to do the administration job for them, as long as you live? :%)

Simpleburn seems VERY light weight. The only external dep i needed to pull in was mpg123 (260Kb) as all the other deps are included in Porteus base. Be aware that Mencoder has been removed from MPlayer (at least in my version) and this will be needed in order to create or rip DVD. I am testing the audio extraction now which will tell me if conversion to/from mp3 is successful.

## Not looking good. Seems to sit there doing nothing. No usable error message in console. Back to the drawing board.
## EDIT
After modifying the code i have it extracting to flac and mp3. The progress bar was broken due to an attempt at dividing by zero. This should be easily fixed, or i can write another front end for it. I'll probably go with this as it is super lightweight compared to the competition.

K3B is the best.

I have not burn a CD/DVD successfully using pburn. One time it finished but I cannot read the disc content. :(

I may have forgotten to add the headers for mpg123 when I built simpleburn, are you using my binaries for your testing? Maybe that would help out...
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

No i compiled from source. I have it working now. See edit in above post. After investigation, not all these deps are included in Porteus base but i am sorting through them now.

I only took a short look at Simpleburn, so maybe I overlooked something, but

do you see an option to regulate the CD-Burning-speed?

If you can only burn with full-speed, it will produce a lot of Trash

Multisession data-CD's ???

Still sifting through code. I could easily add a speed limit.

The problem (for audio extraction) is in the file simpleburn-extract-audio on line 91:

Code: Select all

cdda2wav -N -J -v toc dev=/dev/cdrom 2>&1 | grep ".(" | tr "," "\n" | sed /^$/d | sed 's/ //g'
This is not parsing correctly and the track times are not being listed one per line (even grep is not working for output). Almost 1am so i need to get some sleep.

Where are we now? Is there something to be tested in terms of cd-burner? :)

Wouldn't it be easier to fix the errors in Pburn,
instead of looking for something new?

Pburn-4.0.0 (67 kb) - requires gtkdialog 0.8.3
Pburn-3.7.18 (68 kb) - Last release supporting cdrkit
Pburn-3.7.12 (68 kb) - Last release for gtkdialog 0.8.0

I've modified pburn-3.7.18 and have it working in Porteus now except for one nagging bug. After closing the last window a runaway process still exists. This process is called 'func' and this script is called by many other scripts. I just can't seem to kill it.

@brokenman
I don't know how to link to the topic,so here it is again:
while using pb-burn there is a notification-window which displays the (really not needed)output of wodim.you have to close it with the so called Emergency-stop button If you close that window with the X-button in the window-frame, you will get
the 100%-cpu-usage for "func" which stays even if you close the application.
Is this what you mean?

EDIT:
Oh.....just reloaded the site;
It seem's that I'm typing much to slow.

Yes thanks Donald this is the code. I've fixed it here and PM'd zigbert in case it made it's way into v4.0. It was an erroneous exit code check.
