This is not to my liking. K3b is just GUI front-end which use console applications like: cdrdao, cdrecord, dvd+rw-format, eMovix, growisofs, mkisofs, normalize, readcd, sox, transcode, vcdxbuild, vcdxminfo, vcdxrip It have not it's own algorithms to burn CD/DVD like Nero or some else product in Windows world :) It means, that k3b just help you to burn CD/DVD with graphical interface (GUI) If you have an finished project ( or some files ) you can burn it from console: // example from burn DVD: $ growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -R -J /home/siegerstein/clip.mkv where /dev/sr0 - is SATA DVD+RW driver in my system. if you have IDE it can be /dev/hdc ( search you device by exec $ cat /proc/partitions ) -Z - clean & write all disk, do not merge -R -J - Rock & Juliet ext /home/siegerstein/clip.mkv - path to your data run $ man growisofs for more info transcode is not CD/DVD burner application. It audio/video converter. k3b or other applications use it for making DVD-Video disk or audio/video converting on fly... > Looking for a solution, I found an article about the program ManDVD > claiming that "Let me tell you beforehand that this program is simply > amazing.

It was install from source ( unix way ;) ) I'm not use Mandriva, but sure it have it's own system manager package. Try urpmi transcode (I'm not sure) to install from repositories. > in what catalogue am I supposed to be when I write this command? > I've tried with my home catalogue but the only result is the > message "Doesn't exist such a file or folder" (my translation from the Polish > language). > The instructions under the headers Building Transcode - Introduction > are > also very puzzling to me. > So, if anybody in this world knows how to install and use Transcode and > knows how to tell it, please tell me. > > Newbie for ever. You should read some info about using GNU/Linux, it not Windows :) Links: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_removing_software http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html Bests, Alex J.
