Introduction to K3b
The K3b package contains a
KDE-based graphical interface to the Cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools CD/DVD manipulation tools. It
also combines the capabilities of many other multimedia packages
into one central interface to provide a simple-to-operate
application that can be used to handle many of your CD/DVD
recording and formatting requirements. It is used for creating
audio, data, video and mixed-mode CDs as well as copying, ripping
and burning CDs and DVDs.
Though K3b can be used to copy
almost any DVD to similar medium, it does not provide a way to
copy, or reproduce a double-layer DVD onto single-layer medium. Of
course, there is not a program anywhere on any platform that can
make an exact duplicate of a double-layer DVD onto a single-layer
disk, there are programs on some platforms that can compress the
data on a double-layer DVD to fit on a single-layer DVD producing a
duplicate, but compressed, image. If you need to copy the contents
of a double-layer DVD to single-layer medium, you may want to look
at the RMLCopyDVD package.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4
platform.

K3b Dependencies
Required
kde-runtime-4.11.1, libkcddb-4.11.1,
and libsamplerate-0.1.8
There are programs from three packages that K3b will look for at runtime: Cdrtools
(required to burn CD-ROM media), dvd+rw-tools-7.1
(required to burn or format DVD media), and Cdrdao-1.2.3 (required to
burn CD-ROM media in DAO (Disk At Once) mode). If you don't need
the capability provided by any of the three packages, you don't
have to install it. However, a warning message will be generated
every time you run the k3b program if any are not
installed.
