Summary

Open Burning Suite is a free application for burning, reading, building, and verifying CD, DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray discs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It communicates with optical drives through native SCSI/MMC commands and supports TAO, SAO, DAO, and RAW burning, with simulation, overburn, and multi-copy options. From files and folders, it can create ISO 9660, Joliet, UDF, Rock Ridge, and HFS+ images. Verification checks can use CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512. Presets cover consoles including PlayStation, PSP, GameCube, Wii, Dreamcast, Saturn, and Xbox. The suite can create audio CDs with CD-TEXT and author DVD-Video and Blu-ray discs; video authoring requires FFmpeg. Disc images can be password-protected using AES-256-CBC encryption, PBKDF2 key derivation, and HMAC-SHA256 integrity verification. Burning, reading, and verification require a physical optical drive and platform-specific permissions. Reading and extracting CHD images requires chdman v0.287 or later. The project uses the BSD 2-Clause license and directs users to GitHub to report issues.

Who it is for

It suits users who work with optical discs on Linux, macOS, or Windows and want disc creation, reading, and verification tools. Console presets and audio or video authoring may also suit users preparing those disc types.
