GnomeBaker is a GTK2/Gnome CD/DVD burning application. I've been writing it in my spare time so progress is fairly slow.

It's more of a personal project as I wanted to have a go at developing on Linux and I figured that as I had got this far I may as well let it loose on the world. Maybe someone will like it and use it.

It requires a recent version of cdtools (cdrecord, readcd, cdda2wav and mkisofs), version 2 or greater should be okay.

Here are some key features of "GnomeBaker":
Create data cds
Blank rewritable disks
Copy data cds
Copy audio cds
Burn existing cd iso images
Can burn via scsi and atapi on linux kernels 2.4 and 2.6. Basically if cdrecord works then GnomeBaker will work.
Drag and drop to create data cds (including DnD to and from nautilus)
Create audio cds from existing wavs, mp3, flac and oggs
Integrate with gconf for storage of application settings
Burn DVDs.
Supports multisession burning
Blank/Format DVDs
Burn Cue/Bin files
Burn data cds on the fly

Requirements:
libgnomeui-2.0
gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4
libglade-2.0
cdtools
mkisofs
libvorbis
libvorbisfile
growisofs
gstreamer-0.8 (vorbis, mad, flac and misc packages)
