Download K3b 0.12.12

For burning CDs and DVDs you can use the K3b program on the Linux platform. It is optimized for a KDE environment and really it is nothing more than one GUI. The actual burning is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao and growisofs. Version 0.12.12 is now available with the following changes:

Version 0.12.12:

I thought the third bug was worth a new release….

• 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).

Version 0.12.11:

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.

• 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.
