    <title>Introduction to K3b</title>

    <para>
      The <application>K3b</application> package contains a KF5-based
      graphical interface to the <application>Cdrtools</application> and
      <application>dvd+rw-tools</application> 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.
    </para>

    <para>
      Though <application>k3b</application> 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
      <ulink url="http://www.mcmurchy.com/rmlcopydvd/">RMLCopyDVD</ulink> package.

      There are programs from three packages that

      DVD media), and <xref role="runtime" linkend="cdrdao"/> (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 <command>k3b</command> program if any are not installed.
