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. &lfs80_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &k3b-md5sum; Download size: &k3b-size; Estimated disk space required: &k3b-buildsize; Estimated build time: &k3b-time; This package has been extracted from the developer's git repository because a stable kf5 based release has not yet been made. It extracts to the directory 'k3b'. K3b Dependencies Required , , , and There are programs from three packages that k3b will look for at runtime: Cdrtools (required to burn CD-ROM media), (required to burn or format DVD media), and (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. Recommended , , and Optional , , , , , , and Musepack (libmpcdec) User Notes: Install K3b by running the following commands: If you use the download link from a browser, you might get a file called k3b-2.0.3a.tar.gz: there are both 2.0.3 and 2.0.3a versions in that directory. There is an old report online which claims that two files in these tarballs differ, but both extract to k3b-2.0.3 and have the same md5sum. mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ -Wno-dev .. && make This package does not come with a test suite.
