hi, thanks for fast reply.

i don't know really if libdvdread3 i used actually works, but atleast it allowed me to run k3b :) so i'm fine with that for now... (i'm not usually doing fancy things with k3b, just burning backups or audio cds)

k3b is, as it is, able to burn simple cd/dvd data discs. but bigger problem (for me) is with this libavcodec stuff, because right now I can't make k3b to convert mp3s into wavs at all.. have to do it manually which is a bit tedious .. :)

thanks,

another application i tried to install was amarok. which also wasn't succesfull, so i'm forced with amarok 2 for now. this also had lot of dependcy problems.. but that's another story, which i'm sure people are already familiar with.

hi,

i'm having some problems with k3b-kde. originally it didn't even start because libdvdread3 package turned out to be just empty virtual one. i found working version from older ubuntu, and got the program to start and burn things.

but today, I needed to make audio-cd out of mp3s, and k3b spat out an error. what I understood is, I need the libk3b3-extracodecs-kde3 package. this

is

...

in repositories, but it can't be installed because it requires libavcodec51, and on Jaunty there is only libavcodec52.

so, how to fix this, has anyone got it to work?

thanks.

For some reason, k3b will not build natively under Jaunty, as it cannot find ffmpeg (which is seemingly not even available in Jaunty?) and the ARtS header files. I am therefore creating those wrapper packages to make the Intrepid version installable as a stopgap measure. You grabbed an old version of the virtual libdvdread3 package that was broken; if you tried it again it would probably work.

I will create a wrapper for libavcodec51 --> libavcodec52 today or tommorrow.
