Description Paolo Pedroni 2011-06-01 11:24:48 UTC 
Version:           2.0.2 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

It would be nice if k3b moved away from requiring transcode for encoding DVDs, as the upstream project is mostly dead. I'm not really sure what can be used instead, but I guess ffmpeg/libav can do mostly everything transcode can. I sadly do not have the coding skill to help, but it's a move that should be considered.

Reproducible: Didn't try

I agree. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/1099201. There are errors/bugs related to transcode.

No one implemented a replacement after more than 6 years.
Make sure users are not presented with a completely broken option.
