<p>This is a little web page for the
|

<a href="http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debburn">cdrkit</a>
|
| 37 |
project. If you want to see more here - feel free to join and help.

<i>cdrkit</i> is a suite of programs for recording CDs and DVDs,
|
| 40 |
blanking CD-RW media, creating ISO-9660 filesystem images, extracting
|
| 41 |
audio CD data, and more. The programs included in the cdrkit package
|
| 42 |
were originally derived from several sources, most notably
|
| 43 |
<i>mkisofs</i> by Eric Youngdale and others, <i>cdda2wav</i> by Heiko
|
| 44 |
Eissfeldt, and <i>cdrecord</i> by Jörg Schilling. However,
|
| 45 |
cdrkit is <i>not affiliated</i> with any of these authors; it is now an
|
| 46 |
independent project.</p>
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
<p>cdrkit, like the programs from which it was derived, is distributed
|
| 49 |
as <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
|
| 50 |
software</a> under the terms of the
|
| 51 |
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU GPL version 2</a>.
|
| 52 |
<i>(Note, this is not "version 2 or later" as you see in many software
|
| 53 |
projects.)</i></p>
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
<p>Derived from the various programs distributed in the <i>cdrtools</i>
|
| 58 |
suite, cdrkit aims to maintain interface compatibility with those
|
| 59 |
tools. The <i>cdrecord</i> program has been renamed to <i>wodim</i>
|
| 60 |
("write optical disk media") so that users will not confuse it with the
|
| 61 |
original cdrecord, which is still maintained by its author, Jörg
|
| 62 |
Schilling. wodim, and the other programs distributed with cdrkit, will
|
| 63 |
retain a user interface compatible with the corresponding programs from
|
| 64 |
the <i>cdrtools 2.01.01a08</i> release, at least for the near future.
|
| 65 |
Thus, front-end programs, such as GUI-based CD writer applications,
|
| 66 |
should be able to use cdrkit merely by substituting the name "wodim"
|
| 67 |
for the name "cdrecord".</p>
