K3b 1.0 released!!!

[eddie]

Well the wait is over! K3b, the KDE CD/DVD burning application, released its 1.0 version today. Even though we all know that K3b is a very stable and excellent program since very long but this release makes K3b an "officially stable" program. A few words from a long and interesting announcement page

K3b provides a convenient and feature-rich graphical user interface to handle all of your CD and DVD needs (well, nearly all). Its features range from simple CD and DVD copy and the creation of audio- or even mixed-mode CDs to stuff like audio CD and file transcoding and video DVD ripping. It supports all varieties of CD and DVD media such as CD-R/W, DVD+R(W), DVD-R(W) and their dual-layer counterparts. K3b's user interface tries to merge the needs of the average user with those of the power user: nearly every parameter can be tweaked while K3b provides very reasonable defaults and many automatic modes which try to determine the optimal setting depending on the context. All this makes K3b the perfect tool to burn the occasional CD or DVD.

Thanks for posting.....

I already receive and use it in Open SUSE 10.2 via online update,But can't get it in Ubuntu 6.10....Why?

In Ubuntu I received many Update almost everyday....but no K3b.

Any one....

@dissel - It takes time, for the Ubuntu team to build a DEB out of the K3B's update so that it fits into the OS flawlessly.

Also, Ubuntu might be very careful (read sceptical) in bumping major packages after their xorg fiasco sometime back.

OPC=Optical Power Calibration. The writer adjusts laser power according to DVD media used, using OPC. Its not an issue unless you are getting corrupt DVDs..
