GnomeBaker looks promising, though it's still in very early development.

Coaster looks promising, I like libburn

There's also pigion and that one written by the Dropline GNOME people.

nautilus-cd-burner is quite nice, but a bit basic... simple to use though and integrates well with Gnome

*UPDATE* I've created an ebuild for gnomebaker (which is quite good I have to say). You can get it at bugs.gentoo.org here

I throw in another vote for xcdroast. It looks weird at first, but I find it's the best tool for anyting you want burned.

xcdroast is a pretty good program but it has a horrable UI.

I use Xcdroast too, it's pretty good but no where near as intuative as K3B.
Burning DVD's in xcdroast is a bit of a hassle because you have to get a key to use cdrecord-prodvd.

I wish there was a GTK2 app that uses growisofs to burn DVD's.
(yes I know - I should write one myself

).

I've considered for a long time writing a gtk2 application in pyGTK which would simply do the same thing as k3b, be a wrapper to other apps..

And after looking over the command line app burn-center (which I use.) I MIGHT do it..

But I doubt anyone wants a gtk2 burner written in python.. but then again everyone here uses a package manager written in it. :wink:

Have you people seen coaster? It's a long ways from being done, but it supposedly works sometimes. I've been trying to get it working the past few days, but whenever I click on burn, it crashes. I also get

Yes Coaster has been mentioned earlier. I agree it does look promising but is not stable yet.

I'm still not sure if Coaster will burn DVD's ?

Oops.
