About the project

A tool for generating and burning CD, DVD and BD-R images so that a picture becomes visible on the disc surface. It offers a WPF app for Windows and an experimental CLI for Linux and macOS.

Useful for
  • Generate a DVD ISO image with a picture visible on the disc surface
  • Export a CD-DA WAV+CUE audio track for burning with cdrecord or ImgBurn
  • Calibrate track geometry from a disc photo for accurate image projection

8.7 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 3, 2026, 04:17 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 02:41–04:06: 3333 → 3476 stars (+143). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1,868 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 334× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • Hacker News: “DiscImageStudio: burn visible artwork onto CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs” — 78 points, 2 h ago.
  • About 129 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 3,475. +86775% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Star growth looks organic. The magnitude is lowered, not zeroed:

  • Hardly anyone watches for updates: 4 watchers for 3,476 stars.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
