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.
Very good, simple and easy to use burning software. It comes installed with Ubuntu and the latest version is very good.
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.
It looks like my adventure with Brasero on Ubuntu MATE was one of the harsh ones mentioned in the reviews. DVD destroyed.
