Hi, I've prepared an ebuild for this software, it's in the bugzilla already.

Update: version bumped to 1.7.4 (bugfix release)

About:
This is a frontend for well known cdrkit/cdrecord & dvd+rw-tools written in Python programming language, has a nice colorful output.
It's a CLI programm, no need for X11, so it's possible to use remotely through ssh/telnet/whatever. Look for the feature-list below.
Depends on dev-lang/python, app-cdr/cdrkit (or app-cdr/cdrtools) and app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools.

Bugzilla entry with the ebuild: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204841
Homepage: http://burn-cd.sourceforge.net/
Screenshots: http://burn-cd.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html

Features:
  • simple and convenient — just give it the files and dirs to burn;
  • supports CD&DVD — use just one approach to burn any disk;
  • auto multisession — no need to worry about your previous data;
  • text based — well suited for console/terminal use on local or remote machine (ex. ssh, telnet);
  • lightweight — start writing quickly straight where you are (ex. mc, console, terminal);
  • info mode — evaluate the disk capabilities fast;
  • disk images — it's possible to burn the premade disk images (ex. iso, mdf);
  • config file — store your preferences in the config file (ex. verbose=yes);
  • DVD-Video — just give it a dir with a DVD-Video structure or even the DVD-Video files and you're done;
  • interactive behaviour — if ON the program will ask if you want to blank the finalized RW media;
  • configurable umount — you can setup the umount command to use before the burning;
  • cool progress bar =:)

Hope you'll like it.

This is a very nice script. Worked flawlessly on my 64bit Intel Core2 Duo install.
Thank you.
