burncd is capable of burning dvd+rw and dvd+r and for this purposes I 
use it frequently. It is easy to use, part of the OS and, in my opinion, 
  a very powerful tool.
But burncd has problems burning and especially __closing__ cd-r, cd-rw 
(fixate does not work, fixating with cdrecord remains the previously 
broken media clear and usable after burning with burncd and fixating 
with cdrecord.
