Voor het branden van cd's en dvd's kan je op het Linux-platform onder andere gebruik maken van het programma K3b. Het is geoptimaliseerd voor een KDE-omgeving en eigenlijk is het niets meer dan een GUI. Het daadwerkelijke brandwerk wordt namelijk uitgevoerd door de command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao en growisofs. Versie 0.12.12 is sinds kort beschikbaar met de volgende wijzigingen:
Version 0.12.12:
I thought the third bug was worth a new release....Version 0.12.11:
- Fixed another bug in the iso options code which sometimes resulted in a failed verification.
- Properly close the reading device when copying VideoDVDs. This bug resulted in a blocked device.
- Fixed handling of filenames in libdvdcss backend (this fixes VideoDVD copy).
I have been busy with my diploma thesis so there was not much K3b activity... now it's done and I have the time to release a new K3b version.
- Fixed selection in the audio CD ripping window.
- Fixed info block handling in WAVE audio file decoder: no more clicks at the end.
- Introduced a hack which fixes the "Wav detected as Mpeg file" bug.
- Fixed Auto multisession mode for DVD+RW and DVD-RW in restricted overwrite mode in case a previous session was imported.
- Fixed a crash with HAL >= 0.5 when exiting K3b.
- Allow copying of double layer DVDs with a size below 4.3 GB to single layer media.
- Support for the ring buffer in growisofs 6.0.
- Use .iso extension for images instead of .img
- Properly remove the image file in case verification failed.
- Ignore mounting state of a medium when showing its contents.
- Fixed a bug in the iso options code which sometimes resulted in a failed verification.
- Properly handle cue files withan image file name like image.bin.cue + image.bin
- Write a proper Xing header when encoding VBR mp3 files.
