Version: 2.0.2 (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux Hello ... Bought some blu-ray disks (Philips BD-R 25gb) and tried a backup from a storage drive. Bundled 21.2gb of data. 1.6gb remaining on disk. Amazing! Began burn. Total burn time about 60 minutes. When 100% complete, the above error showed. Complete frozen crash. Could not access any reports. Two points: 1. Before chucking out the blu-ray disk, I checked the file structure. It appears to be intact. I accessed random files and all were readable. Strange. 2. K3B reported 12.4x as the speed while the actual speed as stated below averaged about 1.4x. I checked with calculator and the below stated speed was mostly accurate. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Why? You ask. The blu-ray disks cost about $1.80 a disk and the time was one hour of burn time. If you can give me some general suggestions then I will work with you and create some more expensive coasters. Actual Results: This does not happen with DVDs. Bundle some files and burn. Expected Results: The burn should have gone without generating an error. K3B should have exited gracefully. I assume since the files are readable on the blu-ray disk then the problem may be a closing issue.
I purged k3b and reinstalled it and tried another 25gb blu-ray disk. Both attempts were done with A1 quality blu-ray disks. The first a Philips BD-R 25gb and the second a Memorex BD-R 25gb disk. A second attempt at burning a blu-ray caused the same result. The first burn was 21.2gb and the second 12.1gb. The results were the same also a complete freeze and crash with no opportunity to capture any information. The following can now be added to the original report. Steps to Reproduce: Burn a blu-ray disk and it ends with the crash and freeze. Further info on the optical drive - PIONEER - BD-RW BDR-206
After some digging and experimenting I have found the following which I hope may of help to other people in a similar predicament... Problem caused by cdrecord (http://cdrecord.berlios.de/) licensing issues and past feuds which result in cdrkit (http://www.cdrkit.org/) being installed on system (Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, etc) and used in place of actual cdrecord binaries. cdrkit binaries based on old and buggy code. k3b patched to detect cdrkit installation and use growisofs instead - https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/101208/. In referenced bugs growisofs seems to have an issue closing the BD-R session resulting in the last file burnt to the disc being faulty and the disc left open ("Appendable: yes" in k3b after burning). Solution is to install cdrecord. Removal of cdrkit isn't required as k3b will detect cdrecord from default install path of /opt/schily/. For installation instructions on Debian-based O/S see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5552555&postcount=5 Note that you can stop at 'sudo make install' in the above and k3b will find cdrecord, no adjusting with symlinks in /usr/bin is required. Apparently as detailed in http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=85895&start=15#p165603 - setting k3b to "No Multisession" will cause it to use cdrecord instead of growisofs. Have tested the above on Debian Wheezy.

Got the same error on two burns yesterday except mine does not crash. The files are intact and a recursive diff (diff -qr <dir1> <blu-ray-dir>) does not return any errors. The system is OpenSUSE 12.2 64-bits fully update and using Verbatim 6X BD-R. Will try with TDK later.
Same bug exists in Ubuntu and other distros: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/788322
64 bit Suse 13.1: K3B 98% done with burn of DVD and get I/O error, terminating burn. No crash. Twice in succession with Blu Ray but has been going on with DVDs as well. A search brought me to this bug report. I've now replaced cdrkit with latest cdrecord. Burn completed with no errors. Suse 13.1 Yast does require removal of cdrkit before install of cdrecord.
I can confirm this on Debian Jessie, K3B 4.14.2, burning to a 4 GB dvd.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 367639 ***
quote from Thomas Schmitt is most probably the known growisofs bug about unformatted BD-R, which it formats automatically but then forgets to have done. An inappropriate CLOSE SESSION command is sent in the end and causes the error message. Diagnosis and fix are here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=713016 Workaround: Add growisofs option -use-the-force-luke=spare=none if the BD-R medium is detected as blank. Or run dvd+rw-format on the BD-R before running growisofs.

This error I experienced a long time ago when I commented on the bug, but I am not the one to report it originally. It is no longer occurring now, but I no longer have the original hardware where that occurred. Either it is fixed or the problem is related to the old hardware.
