Burn failure log for k3b-1.69.0 on an installed Mandriva-2009.1

Version:           2.0.2 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

I create a new data project, add files, insert a blank DVD-R, press "Burn".

The burning immediately fails with the message: "Cannot open a new session on the disk. The is probably a problem with the medium."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Follow the details above.

Actual Results:  
Failure

Expected Results:  
Burn

I tried with:
* 3 different blank DVDs
* 2 different DVD burners:
** the one inside my laptop (HP-8510w)
** a Plextor PX-755A (SATA plugged in USB using a SATA-USB converter)
* 2 different versions of K3B:
** 1.69.0 on an installed Mandriva-2009.1
** 2.0.2 on a live-DVD of Mandriva 2011

Please see the 2 attachments below for the full log.

Additional information:
* I don't create an ISO image because I don't have enough space on my hard disk
* I use long file names. K3B complains about it an I choose "Disable Joliet extensions"

I think this can be closed. It did not happen again.
