\shand again well08:09
\shit's all bullshit what debian and the sourcemonkeys of k3b are doing08:09
\shfirst of all...if an application is bugging me: this and that application is not installed, so I don't have to complete functionality, I, as a user, will going to install it.08:11
\shbut if the application is saying: well, i can run without it, and I can burn cds without it, so what...08:12

\shbut, cdrdao is used for burning *lol*08:28
hervewell, you can still generate iso files, can't you?08:28
\shbut vcdimager makes cue/bin files08:32
herveyes but it's not k3b :-)08:34
\shk3b uses vcdimager08:38
herveis vcdimager a GUI?08:39

\shit converts mpg files to vcd compatible structure08:40
\shand it's not working at all :)08:40
\shdoing the conversion by hand, it's ok08:40
\shwith k3b it breaks :) finally with the actual vcdimager version of ubuntu ;)08:41

hervevcdimager is too geeky :-)08:42

\shvcdimager is easy08:44
\shvcdimager -t svcd -c test.cue -b test.bin blade.mpg ;)08:45
herveseriously speaking, it's still a command line tool08:45
\shherve: it doesn't matter, if there is a gui, why not, but it should work with the gui :) if the gui is calling the cli...it depends on it08:47
hervethat's my point too08:47
