Need a CD/DVD burner that has no bugs and just works
Written by
miwaypet
the 3 May 09 at 03:22.
New
Brasero is too buggy. Has a track record of not working well with different CD/DVD burners. Throws too many errors. Rejects good disks.
K3b is too heavy. Would mean porting all the big KDE libs. Not feasible.
I am submitting my idea as a remedy for the above situation.

Solution #1:
Make nautilus burner a stand alone application for Gnome
Written by
miwaypet
the 3 May 09 at 03:22.
Nautilus burner was the integrated CD/DVD burner for the Gnome desktop. It should be simple to take the code base and recreate it as a fully functional, easily integrated stand alone CD/DVD burner for Gnome. It just works. It has simple interface. Has a proven history of few bugs.

I think that Brasero is a good application and have a very good interface. The effort should be to fix all bugs of this program.

Solution #3:
k3b in the default
Written by

gtkqt allows correct integration. K3b is a very good burner, and ubuntu users would benefit if we stopped forcing apps to come from gnome.
It is also a more realistic solution for Karmic Koala as I doubt all the Brasero bugs will get fixed in so little time.

Install CD/DVD Creator by default and fix/add any bugs/features.
Written by

CD/DVD Creator is very direct, easy to use, solid and dependable. Try fixing the few bugs that exist for this program and add any media burn types that are missing from this program.

Solution #7:
K3b and Brasero together as one.
Written by
cracken226
the 14 May 09 at 16:40.
Install both versions of these burning programs into main distro for user compatibility with Gnome and Kde base file, while Gnome stays as default environment. So Kde base files would be an advantage, as these files are in advanced repositories, or Kubuntu distro installation media in case you do not have a Ubuntu Gnome based dvd installation media.
Please, vote. Thank You for making Ubuntu better.

Solution #8:
Perform some competitor analysis
Written by
srippon
the 18 May 09 at 09:15.
Competitor analysis (
http://deyalexander.com.au/resources/uxd/competitive-analysis.html
) could be performed to help improve the user experience (UX) of Brasero.
Competitor analysis would show what the other popular CD/DVD burning applications available are, what features they offer, how these features are offered, etc.
Another form of competitor analysis is to incorporate usability testing (
http://www.usability.gov/refine/learnusa.html
|
http://deyalexander.com.au/resources/uxd/usability-testing.html
). In doing this you get real users to perform real CD/DVD burning tasks using competitors software. This shows what works well and what doesn't work so well in their software. These findings can be incorporated into new designs for Brasero.

Use Gnome Baker, not K3B
Written by

Gnome Baker is about as advanced as K3B, and, as evident by the title, it integrates with the GNOME desktop.

Solution #11:
Write in vala an awesome brasero replacement
Written by
francois
the 5 Oct 09 at 13:03.
Brasero is a good program only when it does not crash and has indeed a good interface, but there are too many bugs and we're losing hope for those to be fixed one day.
Vala is an awesome language that allows to write programs quickly (such as mono) but without the inconvenients of mono (lack of performance and .NET)
An awesome brasero-killer application could be written in vala, a CD/DVD burner that fits the description of the idea.
