[gentoo-user] DVD DL coffee coaster

[Mick]

Hi All,

I've just made a rather expensive double layer coffee coaster trying
to copy a DVD with K3b.  This was the error:

==================================

It seems to me that k3b didn't write in double layer and when the
first layer was burned it conked out.  Could it be something else?
Some setting?  Is there any hope left - I need to copy this movie!
