There are nothing new from the K3b for KDE 4? Is it the project alive still?

Thanks.

I can't give you a reference, but I'm certain that it is only a week or two since I read that the re-write is almost ready for release. I believe it said something about blue-ray support too - but don't take that for gospel truth, my memory being what it is.

I have release 1.68 of K3b for KDE4 and, apart from not recognising that I have libmad installed, it runs as least as well as the KDE3 version.

And that's not even the latest version. AFAIK 1.69 is the latest, and for me at least it recognizes libmad.

I only have two complaints, and neither is major (they're just a tad annoying):

1. For some reason, I get a window complaining about a path that can't be found. I assume it's a path K3B thinks I've used for burning before since it's in /media rather than a path for binaries and/or libs, but I can't understand why it would complain about it since I've never used K3B to navigate to that directory. Still, there should be an option somewhere to "Never remember previously used directories" or words to that effect.
2. The "Hide main window while writing" option doesn't work.

Otherwise I have no complaints.

Have 1.69 on my system. No problems here that I've found luckily as it's one of my favourite programs;D

No problem with DVD too? I did never try but I read that on FreeBSD doesn't work so good.
Thanks.

I don't know if there are issues with getting it to work properly on the BSDs but I haven't had any problems burning DVDs (including RW-ones) with it in Linux, and I've burnt quite a few.

No problems with DVD. Does BSD use the same backend programs as Linux? I Don't think it's a K3b problem.

I don't know if is problem just on BSD because I red about problems on Gento too.
I am asking because on the k3b site is that two developers are retired...and there are not so many news how project is.

the kde 4 version of k3b is used on opensuse as default.

i don't have any issues with it
it indeed seems to support blu ray (the dvd dialog asks to place an empty dvd or blu ray disk when burning dvd images)

K3b goes beta!

k3b is far from dead, the final beta before the 2.0 was released recently and 2.0 will be released soon.

The reason the website seems a little dead is that a complete rewrite of the website is going on right now as well

The final 2.0 release of K3b should be out of the door any day now. The new K3b maintainer Michał Małek works hard and even the old one (Sebastian Trüg) is taking breaks from Nepomuk to help here and there. Apart from the Blu-Ray bug mentioned in http://michalm.wordpress.com/2010/03/12 ... candidate/ (can't verify it -- don't have a Blu-Ray drive) K3b 1.91 works really well.
