xfburn --transcoder list | basic | gst

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so xfburn is an easy to use burning application built on top of the libburnia libraries, no cap. so far it features burning to CD, and DVD, and also blanking rewritable discs 💿✨ Data and audio compositions can get created from scratch, and images in .iso format can be burned, or created. it's giving full service, honestly 👑

---

🌈 INVOCATION 🌈

xfburn can be called with --burn-image to immediately show the burn image dialog — like, straight to business, no small talk 🫶 Optionally the image file can be preselected by appending it to the command line.

When the --data-composition or the --audio-composition option is specified, then xfburn's main window will open up with the selected composition type instead of the welcome tab. The filename(s) of the contents of the composition may follow the composition option. so you can just yeet your files right in there 🧚

⭐ Options ⭐

• -?, --help — Print brief help and exit. short and sweet, she answers and then leaves 🎀
• -V, --version — Print version information and exit. so you know exactly which icon you're talking to 💅
• -i, --burn-image [IMAGE] — Open the burn image dialog. Optionally the image is given as IMAGE. 🔥
• -b, --blank — Open the blank disc dialog. wipe it clean, main character energy 💀
• -d, --data-composition [FILE(S)] — Opens xfburn with a new data composition. Optionally FILE(S) to be added to the composition follow. 🌸
• -a, --audio-composition [MUSIC FILE(S)] — Opens xfburn with a new audio composition. Optionally MUSIC FILE(S) to be added to the composition follow. 🎵 literally the mixtape option, obsessed
• -t, --transcoder [TRANSCODER] — Selects the transcoder to use when creating audio compositions. Specify list to see all available options. Currently implemented are the gst and the basic transcoder. gst uses gstreamer, and can allows the use of any gstreamer-supported media file. basic only allows using audio files already in CD format: 48khz uncompressed WAV files. ✨ (yes, basic is picky — she has standards 🙈)
• -m, --main — When the --burn-image or the --blank option is selected, xfburn will quit after the dialog exists, unless the --main option is given. In that case the main xfburn window is shown after the dialog has been closed. so -m is basically "wait, stay, i'm not done with you" 🫶
• --display=DISPLAY — Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface. 🖥️
