Brasero is the Linux CD/DVD burning utility that comes with the default installation of Ubuntu. It is a free disc-burning program which serves as a graphical front-end to cdrtools, growisofs, and libburn. Here is the steps how to install it on your ubuntu linux distribution:

1. You can run Brasero from the Applications > Sound & Video menu.
2. (recommended) Install extra codecs to allow creation of audio CDs from mp3, wma, etc.:
   

   sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

3. (recommended) Make Brasero the default burner for various media types.
   

   nano ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

4. Append the following lines.
   

   [Added Associations]
   x-content/blank-bd=brasero.desktop;
   x-content/blank-cd=brasero.desktop;
   x-content/blank-dvd=brasero.desktop;
   x-content/blank-hddvd=brasero.desktop;

   Save and close the file, and then restart Nautilus.
