As per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379166 , K3B will complain
about transcode not being installed, even when it is, when working with
a DVD.  This is due to the fact that looking for transcode was commented
out while checking to see if it was found was not.  The following patch
uncomments the proper code and allows K3B to rip DVDs again:
