Introduction

K3B is a CD/DVD authoring application frontend written for KDE interface under GNU/Linux. K3b effectively makes use of command-line utilities CDRDAO, CDRecord and growisofs to handle the actual writing of information to a disc.

Features

These are some common features that K3b supports like most CD/DVD burning applications:

  • Remove files from your project, move files within your project.
  • Create empty directories within your project.
  • Write data CD's on-the-fly directly without an image file or with image file. It's also possible to just create the image file and write it to CD later.
  • Rockridge and Joliet file system support.
  • Rename files in your project.
  • Let K3b rename all the mp3/ogg files you add to your project to a common format like "artist - title.mp3".
  • For advanced users: support for nearly all the mkisofs options.
  • Verifying the burned data.
  • Support for multiple El-Torito boot images.
  • Multi-session support
