CDROM burning software.

Well, it actually does the job! Awesome!

KDE as a dependency is really really unfortunate though.

• Ripping a DVD to AVI using K3b

--

• 2009-03-15 - K3b was replaced by graveman
• 2009-03-15 - 1.0.5 + KDE 3.5.9 on PCLinuxOS (version not recorded)

• 2008-08-30 or earlier - (version not recorded) on (distribution not recorded)

2009-03-15 - 1.0.5 + KDE 3.5.9 ∞

I've used it for some time now, and PCLinuxOS has done updates and it's working even better..

Burning a DVD ISO ∞

Don't run it like this:

k3b filename.iso

Run it like this:

k3b

Then in the menu, pick Tools > Burn DVD ISO...

Notes ∞

• Tries to verify a CD, and seems to always fail.

  • Later attempts seem to work just fine.
• Doesn't retract a DVD? Doesn't seem to even try to verify it.

• Wiping a rewritable CDRW works now.

2008-08-30 or earlier - (version not recorded) ∞

• Doesn't want to verify CD-Rs, but it'll do a DVD

  • Nope, doesn't verify a DVD-R either.
• Seems to sometimes fail to detect disks and needs a reboot.

• A cd-rw mysteriously isn't wipeable. Sad.
