This thing makes Nero Linux 4 a piece of overpriced crap. It has almost every feature that Nero Linux 4 has! Combine this with Handbrake, and you got yourself a special piece of software called Nero StartSmart for Linux.
It's functional for the most part, but a severe pain to get it to work initially. That's probably because 1: it uses questionable and abandoned alternative libraries, which should have been switched back to the standard and supported libraries.
But this won't be happening because 2: Brasero has been abandoned since 2010. That's 13 years ago as of the time I'm writing this. Which means it will no longer correctly configure itself to current distributions. The only benefit of it being abandoned is the Gnome developers won't be poking their dirty fingers through it.
But seriously, regardless of it still being packaged in most distributions, it really needs to be marked as a dead project.
(and all those downvotes on other reviews must be Gnome fanboys).
Zorin OS has a nice built-in system CD/DVD Creator, similar to the Windows solution. I managed to burn DVD successfully and play it both on Linux and on Windows with VLC.
It looks like my adventure with Brasero on Ubuntu MATE was one of the harsh ones mentioned in the reviews. DVD destroyed.
it's nice i find and i used it in linux mint debian ubuntu knoppix
debian/ubuntu users ought install ACTUAL-cdrtools and ditch the debian broken "fork" to fully benefit from the brasero front end:

Ubuntu users who are not comfortable compiling themselves are encouraged to use this PPA

One may optionally create links to old broken binaries from the current-, maintained-, functional binaries to quell issues with quarrelsome software.
Wiki*dia, "truth" by consensus, not surprisingly is not representing the issue correctly.
If you want to destroy as many DVDs as possible, try Brasero. It killed 10 DVDs in just two days. And this ain't a problem of the DVDs, because the same brand works flawlessly with K3B. On top of that, Brasero burns my 4x DVD+RWs at only 0.3x speed. Again, with K3B no problem. Avoid Brasero at any rate!
