Well on mine, the only problem is that it gives a error after doing the 
preformat part.  Other than that, everything works fine.  It gives the 
error but it appears there is no error.  I just let it continue and it 
burns fine, plays fine on both my computer and a home DVD player.  I 
just don't understand why I get a error.

I also forgot to mention, it does this on any burn where I put in a new 
DVD.  It doesn't have to be a movie, it can be plain data such as a 
backup or pictures etc.  I just don't know why it is complaining when 
really nothing is wrong.  I don't know if it is k3b or if it is 
something under the hood but I figure our guru would know.  I can use 
that tkdvd program burner to test this if needed.  I think it is still 
installed on here.

P.S.  I been using DeVeDe to burn mine.  Nothing fancy yet but I had to 
go unstable on EVERYTHING related to get it to work.  By everything, I 
mean DeVeDe, ffmpeg and a couple other packages I don't recall the name 
of at the moment.  The stable packages just would not work.
