+K3b is able to use the [[dvd|libdvdcss]] library to read encrypted DVDs, as long as you have it installed.
+====When to use K3b====
+K3b is highly recommended for ripping audio discs, burning data discs, and burning audio discs. It does have the capability to do more, but there are easier solutions for a few of them, notably:
+  *For burning DVDs with interactive menus, you may find [[bombono|Bombono]] easier.
+  *For ripping encrypted DVDs with multiple chapter markers, you may find [[handbrake|HandBrake]] or [[thoggen|Thoggen]] easier.
+As optical discs seem to be falling out of fashion for the most part, K3b is becoming less essential to everyday workflows, but it's a solid application with heaps of features directed at getting information on or off of optical media.
