Where Can I Find "mkisofs" and "cdrecord" for Ubuntu 12.04 (e.g., iso9660 ufs)

Question

Where can I find mkisofs and cdrecord for Ubuntu 12.04 (e.g., iso9660 ufs)?

Answer 1

The good news is that if you are after the authentic cdrecord and mkisofs (rather than the Debian fork of these applications) Brandon Snider's PPA holds version of these great applications as far back as Ubuntu 12.04 and forward in time to the most recent Ubuntu release.

Add the PPA as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools
sudo apt-get update

Then install the following from Terminal window:

sudo apt-get install cdda2wav cdrecord mkisofs

And now you should be good to go for any version of Ubuntu...

Answer 2

Install apt-file, then you can search for the package which contains them:

$ apt-file search mkisofs
aptoncd: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/APTonCD/core/mkisofs.py
debian-cd: /usr/share/debian-cd/tools/set_mkisofs_opts
genisoimage: /usr/bin/mkisofs
horde3: /usr/share/horde3/lib/VFS/ISOWriter/mkisofs.php
manpages-ja: /usr/share/man/ja/man8/mkisofs.8.gz
pybackpack: /usr/share/pyshared/pybackpack/mkisofs.py
rootstrap: /usr/lib/rootstrap/modules/mkisofs

Looks like genisoimage has mkisofs, and similarly, wodim has cdrecord.
