           Summary: Ripping Video DVDs is not possible, k3b tells you to
                    install transcode although it is installed
           Product: k3b
           Version: unspecified

          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

In 17.04.0, transcode support has been disabled (bug#360170).
This means that it's currently not possible at all to rip Video DVDs. And even
worse, k3b tells the user that transcode couldn't be found even if it is
installed.

openSUSE's transcode seems to work fine though AFAICT, so I would like to ask
you to reconsider that decision and enable transcode support again.
Why should people not be able to use it (and DVD ripping at all), if their
distribution provides a working transcode?

Of course ideally support for other tools should be implemented, maybe ffmpeg
could be used?

In any case, if transcode is not supported, k3b should not ask the user to
install it.
And if Video DVD ripping is not working at all (as it is the case now), the
menu option should probably be removed completely.
