Well, I know that with an iso image all you have to do is open k3b and
double click on the image in its file file window. Then it starts
burning automigically.  It may be the same for video.

Have you opened k3b and gone into help? There a section in the
handbook entitled:

How to rip a DVD and encode it into an MPEG-4 AVI with K3b

That may be helpful?
