K3bは簡単ですが、オーディオ、映像、データのプロジェクト、そしてそれ以上のことができる強力で高度に設定できるグラフィカルな光学ディスク作成のアプリケーションです!
K3bの既定の開始画面

はじめに

WindowsでNeroのようなCD作成プログラムを使ったことがある場合、K3bは非常になじみがあるように感じるでしょう。

簡単ではあるが強力なグラフィカルインターフェイスであるという特長を持つK3bはCD、DVDまたはBD(ブルーレイディスク)を作成する上で様々な機能を提供します。光学ディスクの様々な形式に対応しています。その中にはオーディオとデータ、DVDとビデオCDへの映像の書き込み、それだけでなくマルチセッションや複合形式のディスク(これらに限定されない)があります。K3bはまた再書き込み可能なメディアを消去する機能やオーディオ、映像のエンコードやデコードのようなより複雑な処理を行うことができます。

設定の前に

K3bを初めて実行したとき、K3bが光学ドライブの書き込みドライバを見つけられないということを知らせるでしょう。このことは光学ディスクを書き込むことができないということを意味します。K3bK3bにより用いられ動作する様々なツールを得る設定のウィンドウを開くので慌てる必要はありません。この動作にはこれらのアプリケーションが所有するユーザーグループへの参照が含まれています。K3bがそれら外部のプログラムそのものに適切なアクセス権を適用するのでこの設定を変更する必要はありません。これらのプログラムは通常cdrecordgrowisofs、そしてcdrdaoです。お好みで、K3bburningというユーザーグループを用い光学ドライブを指定することができます。以下にあるのはこれらの設定により行われた設定ウィンドウの画像です。

ユーザーインターフェイスの設定

K3bの起動時3つの最もよく知られている処理のクイックスタートを提示されます。

  • 新しいデータプロジェクト
  • 新しいオーディオCDプロジェクト
  • メディアからコピー

K3b can perform much more than these tasks though, and so you may find that some of the other possibilities are just as useful to you. Take a look at this list for a taste of other available functions (click on the image to enlarge it):


Perhaps a quick start for one or more of these other tasks would be useful to you and so K3b can give you that, too. Simply right click on the application desktop, and here you will see a menu for adding buttons:

Configuring the internals

Most of the default settings can simply be left alone. It is however, recommended that you do take a look at the Advanced Settings page. Here you can set various important settings, if required.

  • Use Burnfree should be set — it controls the burn, ensuring that the buffer never gets dangerously low (which reduces the quantity of bad burns).
  • You may wish to automatically erase re-writable disks.
  • The option Do not eject medium after write process is invaluable if your drive is one that cannot be closed quickly enough for Verify to happen.

Preparing to burn a disk

When starting a new project, you should ensure that K3b has detected the correct optical media, such as CD or DVD. On the status line at the bottom of the screen you should see the size of disk which is currently set. If this is not correct, or you require a different size, simply right-click on it and set the preferred size from the provided list:


Now choose what is to be burnt. 

The top half of the screen is the source pane; it functions like a file manager. You can choose ordinary files from mounted data volumes or audio tracks from inserted audio discs. Names of audio tracks are automatically read from CD-TEXT data, if your CD drive supports reading it, or generated using CDDB; the exact format is controlled by a button in the bottom pane. If the names are incorrect or simply do not match the description of the disc, you can edit them using the toolbar button. Your changes will be cached locally and submitted to the master registry at FreeDB. Internet connection fees apply.

Tip
If the whole record is performed by the same artist, leave the track artist entries blank, fill the Album artist, save to CDDB and requery.


Now that you have your sources at hand, simply drag and drop the files and directories you wish to burn onto the large pane to the right at the bottom; this is the model pane. Behold a tree of your chosen files forming to the left. Should there be some files or directories which you do not want to burn, these can be easily removed from the project by simply removing them from the panel at the bottom. Select the file to be removed (you can control-click to select multiple ones), then choose Remove from the context menu.

Tip
If you need to compress audio, create a new audio CD project, add the files to be converted and press the button Change audio format…. This will not affect the contents of the CD if you decide to burn it; however, you will be able to use the compressed files elsewhere. Make sure the original files are lossless (wav or FLAC), otherwise the result will be unsatisfactory.


The top line will be the title of the disk. In many cases this will be fine, but if you would like to change this to something else, simply rename it using the context menu.

Final Steps

You are now ready to hit the Burn button.

You will see on my screenshot that no disk was present. When you have inserted the appropriate disk you will see a description of it on that line.

There are still one or two choices to be made. I would recommend that you set Verify written data, then hit the Save icon at the bottom of the screen, ensuring that it becomes your personal default. For most modern drives it's safe to leave mode and speed to Auto. If you may wish to burn another copy of the disk at a later date, select Create image, which will save having to set up the burn again. Set the number of copies you want to burn, then, when you are satisfied, hit Burn.

Burning an Audio CD

This page tells you how to burn an audio CD from your stored files.
