I think you are like I was. He means creating the structure.

I think to some degree you're missing my point as I still have not
received and technical reasons why K3B is the best app for Ubuntu

At this point, I'm more inclined to use Gnomebaker, Brasero or even just
stick with Nautilus. But, out of this chat has come ideas about DVD
authoring software. So thats good.
