cdrtools (formerly known as cdrecord) is a collection of independent projects of free software/open source computer programs. It has been adapted to use on Windows. The collection includes many features, such as:
*support for creation of audio, data, and mixed (audio and data) CDs.
*support for burning CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW, both single and dual layer DVDs.
*support for several different burning modes, such as Track-At-Once and Disc-At-Once
*support for cue sheet based writing using the control file format from cdrwin
*nearly complete support for Blu-ray Discs
*support for many vendor specific drive features is implemented.

The project collection called cdrtools was created by Jörg Schilling and others under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The sub-project mkisofs completely remains under GPL. The most important parts of the package are cdrecord, a console-based burning program; cdda2wav, a CD audio ripper that includes libparanoia support; and mkisofs, a CD filesystem image creator. Because these tools don't include any GUI, many graphical front-ends have been created (see below).

Licensing change

In recent versions, starting with 2.01.01a09, most code from cdrtools has been relicensed under the CDDL, [cite web

] while other parts are still licensed under the GPL. In the opinion of most observers, this change makes it impossible to legally distribute cdrtools binaries. [cite web

] In August 2008, Mark Shuttleworth offered to ask the Software Freedom Law Center for a legal opinion on whether cdrtools could be included in Ubuntu, provided Schilling agreed to accept the opinion. [cite web

Since the licensing change, cdrtools added some bug fixes and new features, such as UTF-8 support for mkisofs, support for multi extent files (> 4 GB) in mkisofs, support for correct hard links in mkisofs and Blu-ray support in cdrecord.
