Sorry about top posting. This old phone only does it this way.

I use k3b 2.0.2 under F17 for burning video dvd's and don't have a problem. Also use it for data dvd and install dvd.

Would like to know how it is fubar.

In my own case, K3b refused to burn 100% of a file which gave a proper md5sum on two computers,
separate operating systems, separate downloads. The same file download transferred via Konqueror-SuperUser to the Windows 7
partition and burned by burncdcc.exe had no burn problem and the disk had no trouble installing and using (with the exception of
a particular difficulty with its software).
In the case of the "fubar" which is my own interpretation, here is the quote from MCP on the PCLOS Forum, which was posted on
July 21, altho I didn't see it until today:

"k3b has not given me any problems.  I don't burn that many disks but just recently when I tried to copy a dvd it got to the point of burning
and it just stopped and would not move past the "Insert blank disk" message.  I tried several times and then resorted to creating an image
which it did, but when I put in a blank and tried to burn it would not progress past the mdsum.  The burn button was greyed out."

Another post on the PCLOS Forum, from craesz, same thread, reads as follows:

"I too am having difficulty with K3b... I haven't used this machine to burn a CD in a while. Each time I try to burn, it tells me that there is an I/O
problem and most likely my drive is full.... it's not.
I just ran the above command and the output is:
Code: [Select]
brwxrwxrwx+ 1 root root 11, 0 Aug  7 05:46 /dev/sr0   "

The subject is correct: there is something verkocht in the latest K3b, 
ver. 2.0.2.
I tried on two computers with two OSs to burn a DVD with K3b, and it
screwed up with both of them. In the PCLOS Forum, there is a new
post today about K3b being fubar.  Just another example of the devs
not listening to Ann Landers' advice--"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Or another old axiom: "If you play with anything long enough,
you'll break it!"  I have used K3b for years without a problem, and they
went and broke it.
