It's times like this when I wish I knew how to program. Graveman would be a great place to start for an improved Xubuntu (and Xfce in general) optical disc utility. Unfortunately it's no longer maintained (no updates or news in a year, so safe assumption).

It's confusing why Xfburn seems so neglected.

    Yes, wodim is in main and technically graveman is a front end to
    wodim (though graveman is not currently in main) but isn't very
    natively ported to wodim and therefore throws false error messages
    because it is "unable to communicate with cdrecord" (which is
    technically true because wodim replaced cdrecord, but its still
    annoying) and i don't really know how much it would take to:
    1) get graveman native to wodim
    2) get graveman into main

    I'm not entirely sure starting our own frontend for wodim is
    necessarily a bad idea, but at the same time i don't know if it
    would be necessary because its very possible we could direct our
    efforts to either maintaining/patching another package/application
    and getting it promoted to main.

I really like Linux, but I don't understand why there isn't more cooperation while developing applications. There are almost a zillion CD/DVD burners for *nix out there and almost none of them are actively developed.

If the developers who created those -mostly half functional- applications worked together on one killer burner, the chances of it becoming unmaintained are way smaller and the quality of the applications would also be of a higher standard...

The wait is for someone to fork my -until recently- favorite burner: Graveman (maybe even rename it to Xfburn-ng ('ng' as in 'new generation') or something)
