Isn't k3b qt based (kde)?

Will try the command line one since kde won't speak, perhaps I'll just
need to use a graphical app for this so better start searching.

Well, it is legal, all dvds belong to me, and others are just other
people's home movies...
So, mostly for backing up on other disks and on my hard drive and as I
said home movies.
(and im just playing with this stuff for a bit of fun)

I don't have or use windows, and I hope to get it working on linux,
since dvdbackup worked nicely, so hopefull there are burning tools just
as good.

No, qt isn't supported yet by a screenreader, so they aren't
accessible. (kde is qt)
I think qt accessibility will be nice though because a lot of apps are
qt...

Thanks for your help.
