I should have qualified my statement. K3b does not support writing to a DVD, it can read from a source. My understanding of what you were trying to do based on your explanation was to rip a DVD from source and copy it to a DVD. K3b does NOT support doing this. > > I can mount the DVD and copy off the files with the command line, or > konquer. But the ripper will not work. Well, if you are simply trying to re-encode the files for another format, that would seem to suffice. If the issue is that you want a single GUI that will pull the video files from the source, encode them and then put them into another format, say SVCD, then I would need to know more about the exact source you are using. You said that these were videos that were homemade and put onto a source. Are they computer viewed only, using a player application, or do they function in a standalone hardware DVD player? This is important because the formatting and encoding needs to be correct for a standalone player, you may be talking about a simple DVD data disk if you always use a computer and the encoding formats could be anything from proprietary or DivX to Mpeg1 or 2. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
