=Introduction=
K3B is a CD/DVD authoring application frontend written for KDE interface under GNU/Linux. K3b effectively makes use of command-line utilities [[CDRDAO]], [[CDRecord]] and [[growisofs]] to handle the actual writing of information to a disc.
==Features==
These are some common features that K3b supports like most CD/DVD burning applications:
=== Data CD's ===
* Add files and folders to your data CD project via drag'n'drop.
* Remove files from your project, move files within your project.
* Create empty directories within your project.
* Write data CD's on-the-fly directly without an image file or with image file. It's also possible to just create the image file and write it to CD later.
* Rockridge and Joliet file system support.
* Rename files in your project.
* Let K3b rename all the mp3/ogg files you add to your project to a common format like "artist - title.mp3".
* For advanced users: support for nearly all the mkisofs options.
* Verifying the burned data.
* Support for multiple El-Torito boot images.
* Multi-session support
=== CD Copying ===
* Copy single and multi-session data CD's
* Copy Audio CD's
* Copy Enhanced Audio CD's (CD-Extra)
* Copy CD-Text
* Add CD-Text from [[CDDB]]
* CD Cloning mode for perfect single session CD copies
=== DVD Writing ===
* Support for DVD-R(W) and DVD+R(W)
* Creating data DVD projects
* Creating eMovix DVD's
* Formatting DVD-RW's and DVD+RW's
