Took me some time but here is the updated K3b 0.12.4:

* Fixed --cdimage and --dvdimage parameters.

* Improved handling of broken cue files: K3b now searches the directory for image files that could fit

* Always try to create a new session in case the old one has been imported regardless of the inserted

* Fixed DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite media handling

* Fixed compile problems with latest ffmpeg builds.... read more
