Description of problem:
Size shown in k3b interface is substantially smaller than created ISO
image size, e.g. a set of files k3b shows as 610.9 MB when creating
ISO image results in a 647 MB file:

[root@tabb1 root]# du -s -h /tmp/kde-root/K3b\ data\ project.iso
647M    /tmp/kde-root/K3b data project.iso

When burning from the image file, k3b says it is 645 MB.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
k3b-0.11.9-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use k3b to create ISO image
2. Check size of ISO image
3.
    

Actual Results:  Displays size ~6% smaller than actual image.

Expected Results:  Calculate correct size of ISO image.

Closing this bug because it can probably be fixed by one of the below:
1. installing a new version of K3b
2. installing a new version of the cdrtools or dvd+rw-tools
3. Using a lower writing speed
4. using a different writing mode
5. using a different media brand.

If none of the above help and closing this bug was a fault, please reopen.
