The K3b package contains a KF6-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.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

The CD/DVD drive is detected at run time using UDisks-2.10.1, which must therefore be installed before running k3b.
libburn-1.5.6, libdvdread-6.1.3, and taglib-2.0.2
There are programs from three packages that k3b will look for at runtime: Cdrtools-3.02a09 (required to burn CD-ROM media), dvd+rw-tools-7.1 (required to burn or format DVD media), and Cdrdao-1.2.4 (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.
FLAC-1.4.3, LAME-3.100, libmad-0.15.1b, libsndfile-1.2.2, libvorbis-1.3.7, and Musepack (libmpcdec)
Install K3b by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF6_PREFIX \ -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF \ -W no-dev .. && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
