Download K3b 0.12.17

For burning CDs and DVDs you can use the K3b program on the Linux platform. It is optimized for a KDE environment and basically it is nothing more than one graphic shell. The actual burning is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao and growisofs. Version 0.12.17 is now available with the following announcement:

Version 0.12.17:

• Fixed saving/loading of the file view configuration.
• Improved ffmpeg autoconf check.
• More FreeBSD Compile fixes (thanks to Heiner Eichmann).
• Fixed symbolic link handling in data projects (a bug introduced in 0.12.16).
• Use UTF-8 encoding to store and load local CDDB entries.
• Never use growisofs parameter -dvd-compat with DVD+RW media.
• Fixed flac audio encoding for the audio project conversion feature.

Version 0.12.16:

• FreeBSD Compile fixes (thanks to Heiner Eichmann).

• Properly set the length of SCSI commands (again this fixes some device detection problems).
