I created an ISO image with K3B and it created a MD5 checksum automatically. To create an ISO with K3B, you create it as though you were making a CD or DVD. When it comes to Burn you choose make image only.
Brasero is not configurable, unfortunately. It is an ease of use kind of programme that integrates with Nautilus fairly nicely. It does not have the features or configurability of K3B. You might want to look into AcetoneISO. It is available from Getdeb.net. Just download the right deb file and click on it. Gdebi will prompt you for your password. It may or may not install because you may need some dependencies, but it is worth a try. Roy Linux: Fast, friendly, flexible and .... free!

Brasero does automatically generate a md5 checksum file which it adds to the burnt disc but unfortunately Brasero truncates file names > 64 characters. K3b doesn't truncate long file names but also doesn't create a checksum file. Is there any way to prevent Brasero from truncating long file names?
