The "About K3b" under "Help" menu identifies K3b as "A CD and DVD
Burning
software". The menu items under File > New Projects provide
variuous options
for DVD projects. May be, the K3b team should be taken to task for
mis-representing the facts. (I haven't had any opportunity to
burn DVD's
yet, otherwise i'd have done the honours!)
Don't assume anything just because the menu shows something. It could
just be GUI wrapper which just calls appropriate programs in the
background! A quick search on google gives following information:
"The actual disc recording in K3b is done by the command line
utilities cdrecord, cdrdao, and growisofs."
Probably you need to try (at least) to rip a DVD on Linux first.

Your experiences with inability to use K3b for burning DVD's would
have
strongly supported your claim about "availability, ease of
configuration and
ease of use". As of now, it is hearsay at best.
Instead of trying to hit me back, just suggest me a package which I
can download, (possibly compile), install and start using right away.
dvdrwtools is what you should be looking at. I have sent it in my
first reply to this
thread. Did you face any problems while running it?
