Debian Multimedia Project
Summary
Multimedia misc tools
Collection of multipurpose multimedia tools

Here we collect packages which might be used for miscellaneous issues in different fields of multimedia

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Multimedia Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Multimedia which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Multimedia to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Multimedia mailing list

K3b provides a comfortable user interface to perform most CD/DVD burning tasks. While the experienced user can take influence in all steps of the burning process the beginner may find comfort in the automatic settings and the reasonable k3b defaults which allow a quick start.
