K3B failure output log

Version:           2.0.1 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

K3B doesn't burn Fedora iso (to be precise Fedora-14-Beta-i686-Live-KDE.iso) on a rewritable DVD-RW Verbatim media.

I tried all the possibile combinations of:
- formatting the media (fast and complete blanking);
- burning mode (DAO, etc);
- burning speed (2.4x, 4x);
- data mode (MODE1 or MODE2).

I didn't ever suceeded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) get Fedora iso;
2) get a similar media.

I think the media is actually the problem.

Actual Results:  
The burning fails with the attached output.

Expected Results:  
Burning succeedes as growisofs burning.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-ARCH
Compiler: gcc

I had the same problem, two different DVD-RWs from Verbatim (4x and 6x), one not working (Restricted Overwrite mode) and the other working (Sequential mode). Try to format the DVR-RW in sequential mode with

   dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/dvd

then k3b should work now (k3b is using cdrecord 3.0).

I think this commit fixes the problem (haven't tested, but the patch is in Fedora, and I have no such problem with burning in Fedora):

Haven't tested again, but this is likely to have fixed the issue, so there's no reason to keep this open.
