Dvdrtools install problems

I would like to ask for help, when I tried to install dvdrtools look what I got:

[root@myhost ~]# pacman -S dvdrtools
:: dvdrtools conflicts with cdrtools. Remove cdrtools? [Y/n] y

Remove:  cdrtools

Targets: dvdrtools-0.1.5-1

Total Package Size:   0.5 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

checking package integrity... done.
error: this will break the following dependencies:
  cdrtools: is required by k3b

Am I supposed to force install dvdrtools (and if yes than probably its going to influence stability)
   :?

Please help. Thank you

Re: Dvdrtools install problems

I'm not sure, as I have no dvd burner, but if you plan to burn dvds with k3b, dvd+rw-tools is all what you need. If you plan to use dvdrtools for other reason, I won't help you here :-)

Re: Dvdrtools install problems

As for it's age, tadam, look, what was released today:

http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/

And if this doesn't work, there is a dvd burning patch for cdrecord, all up to date.

Well, just a digression, I don't know the differences and capabilities  of different dvdburning techniques or however I should call that. But maybe someone will find that useful.

Re: Dvdrtools install problems

i tried a few dvd buring apps and ended out using dvd-rw-tools. In all though backing up DVD movies was a hit and miss venture in linux. Alot of RCE encrypted discs were not playable in my regular DVD player, they just worked on the computer or my xbox.

I don't know what other people's experiences have been but for backing dvds I found linux rather weak. Regular file burning was no problem thouugh and dvd-rw-tool was the best for that.
