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.

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.
