Download K3b 0.12.15

For burning CDs and DVDs you can use the K3b program on the Linux platform. It’s optimized for a KDE environment and basically it’s nothing more than a graphic shell† The actual burning is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao and growisofs. Version 0.12.15 has recently been made available with the following announcement:

There will probably be many more bugfix releases before the final K3b 1.0… have fun…

• Write more metadata tags in the default setup of the external encoder plugin.
• Fixed on the fly Video DVD creation.
• Fixed data project verification in case filenames had to be shortened due to Joliet limitations.
• Use -dvd-compat parameter to close DVDs in on-the-fly mode.
• Fixed libdvdcss handling (again), no crashes anymore.
• Fixed the “invalid url” bug.
• Use SG IO for scsi commands with newer linux kernels. This should fix problems with scsi device detection.
• Warn about shortened filenames due to Joliet restrictions before starting the burning process.
