As Artem mentioned it will use both, but we decided to include cdrecord rather than cdrw by default because we felt that cdrecord would probably be more robust (IIRC, at the time of the decision, cdrw had a number of pretty bad bugs). > Also, in Linux the nautilus burner seems to burn files directly (as > does several windows burn tools i've used), in opensolaris (at least > in SXCE) the files are processed first.

I know the desktop team are looking at Brasero as a possible CD/DVD burning tool to add to the desktop.
