[Bug 213215] Re: Please include original cdrecord (cdrtools) package in Ubuntu

[Roger Lawhorn]

For Peter Funk -
A chapter out of my ebook (should work for ubuntu 14.04):

Media - Burning - CDR-Tools vs CDRKit

There are two packages that can be used for burning.
They are cdr-tools and cdrkit. cdrkit is the default for Linux Mint.

Here is an article describing why some did not like cdr-tools and replaced it.
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3715646/Tips-and-Tricks-for-Linux-Admins-Volatile-Debian.htm

I personally go back to cdr-tools because it works. cdrkit, when first
introduced, broke everything. It was a nightmare.

For those who remember cdr-tools and prefer it there is a way to switch
back and forth at will.

PPA Website:
https://launchpad.net/~brandonsnider/+archive/ubuntu/cdrtools

Switch to using cdr-tools...

Open up a terminal, and paste the following commands:
>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools
>sudo apt-get update
>sudo apt-get install cdrecord mkisofs

You will see an error telling you Brasero depends on wodim (cdrkit) to
run. You can safely ignore this. Brasero will run with cdr-tools.

Optional - Install K3B Burning Software:
>sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer
>sudo apt-get install k3b

Go back to cdrkit...
Open up a terminal, and paste the following command:
>sudo apt-get install wodim genisoimage
