--- Comment #15 from Kevin Kofler <kevin.kofler at chello.at> ---
Yes, in the long run, to work with something maintained, we will need K3b to
work well with http://libburnia-project.org/ . Cdrecord has licensing issues
preventing it from shipping in some distributions
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items#cdrtools), cdrkit/wodim and
dvd+rw-tools/growisofs are both dead projects.

At the very least, its cdrskin tool should be supported similarly to wodim:
check for it (I would check for "cdrskin", "cdrecord" and "wodim" in that
order, or you end up picking up a "cdrecord" that is really wodim), then add
hasFeature("cdrskin") checks where useful, i.e., cdrskin is probably preferable
to growisofs for all burning tasks (both DVD and BluRay), and you need to check
its support for various features. The proposed patch from comment #1 is far
from sufficient. It only checks for the cdrskin binary (after wodim!), but it
treats it as if it were cdrecord, so you end up with all the workarounds for
cdrecord limitations.

But I think the best way would be to just use the libburn library and stop
spawning external tools entirely.
