Description yoko 2011-12-07 22:43:36 UTC
Version:           2.0.2 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Inserted a standard 'R' DVD with 4,7 G capacity.
Created an ISO image with only 40 Kbyte below the disk capacity of 4,7 G.
k3b status bar indicates that size was ok.
'Burn' aborts with unknown error 255.
I shortened the image to be 2 M below the 4,7G. Now it works.

I only found this resolve after starting Gnome Braseros, which immediately said that it won't work even with overburn.

So, somehow the calculation of k3b seems to be insufficient.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Created an ISO image with only about 40 Kbyte below the disk capacity of 4,7 G, so that k3b does not report an exceed. (The actual critical size range unknown to me, i only tried 40K.)

Actual Results:  
Burning starts but wuits with error 255.

Expected Results:  
At least, error 255 should have been explained. That is the main problem.

But clearly the capacity indicator in the status bar should have told in the first place that it won't work. 


OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.39-2-amd64
Compiler: gcc

Oh, forgot to check 'reproducible'. It was like this with 3 different DVD brands, and many tries. I also had the burning permissions verified (all OK).
The drive is not-too-old but IDE, managed by scsi kernel driver, generally working ok. Burning at dynamic speed of >16x with k3b.

Clarify: Burning any different DVD brand works flawless with my drive and k3b.
My problem was that error 255 was not explained so i tried to find the reason for several days.
