Getting started with K3b

When running the application for the first time, it will warn users about missing codecs or core components for some of its built-in functionality, such as creating of MP3 files from Audio-CDs. It will also prompt users with a “Tip of the Day” dialog, from where they can learn a few tips and tricks.

In more technical terms, the application supports burning of CD, CD-R(W), DVD-R(W), DVD+R(W) and Blu-ray media, formatting of DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, creation of eMovix DVDs and data DVD projects, as well as to create VCD 1.1/2.0, SVCD, and CD-Extra media.
