Xfburn

Xfburn is a lightweight graphical disc burning utility for the Xfce desktop environment. It serves as a front-end to the libburn disc-burning library, providing a simple interface for common optical media tasks without requiring the complexity of larger projects. Xfburn can burn data CDs and DVDs and Blu-ray discs, create audio CDs from file collections, and burn ISO images or other disc images. It can also erase or format rewritable media and supports verifying written data.

Design and features: The application emphasizes simplicity and speed. Its interface presents separate actions for data, audio, and image burning, and it automatically detects connected drives. It relies on the libburn and libisofs backends to perform the actual writing operations, and can perform quick or full verification after burning if enabled.

Availability and packaging: Xfburn is part of the Xfce project and is commonly packaged for major Linux distributions, under the name xfburn. It is typically installed as a lightweight alternative to more feature-heavy burning tools and integrates with other Xfce components such as Thunar and the notification system.

History and development: Xfburn has been maintained as part of the Xfce ecosystem alongside other Xfce tools. It leverages the libburn libraries provided by the libburnia project to support various disc formats, with ongoing updates to stay compatible with newer optical media standards and GTK-based interfaces.
