33 <h1>cdrkit - portable command-line CD/DVD recorder software</h1>
34
35 <p>This is a little web page for the
36 <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.
38
39 <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 J&ouml;rg 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, J&ouml;rg
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>
