## 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 02:41–05:30: 3333 → 3581 stars (+248). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1,886 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 344× 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” — 102 points, 4 h ago.
- About 90 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.
- Hardly anyone watches for updates: 5 watchers for 3,581 stars.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 108
- Issues and pull requests: 46
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 781 per day
- Usual pace: 0 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 75
- Latest release: v1.3.6 (2026-11-02)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-11-03 05:41 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
