Heh. I see, you want a program that one could use without having to know _anything_. Your right thats not what gcombust is, but its still useful for those of us who know `something'...

Not sure a database would be enough for that, as these not only vary for each system (hardware) but also depend on . the type of files to be written (big ones or many small ones) and of course the performance of the disk/controller/fs their on (and the net if their not local) . current and near-future system load (for example any cronjobs coming up that will be hammering the source disk, or network?) (is that all?) of course you could reduce the problems by simply always creating an image file but then you can't write CDs once your low on free space. >...
