About

What it is

Disc Image Studio is a cross-platform tool that helps you generate and burn visible patterns onto the surface of CD, DVD, or single-layer Blu-ray discs. It works with any recordable optical drive to create images that the naked eye can see on the disc surface.

git clone https://github.com/JiaFeiMiao-K-Cat/DiscImageStudio.git

How to use it

Start by creating a project for your disc type and import your image. Adjust settings like dithering, gamma, brightness, and grayscale to design your pattern. You can generate ISO, RAW, or WAV and CUE files for burning, or use the experimental immediate burning feature.

dotnet build DiscImageStudio.slnx --configuration Release
dotnet run --project src/DiscImageStudio.App --configuration Release
