hi list,
I just bought a new dvd rewriter, lg gsa-4166b. In my first attempts to write dvd's, k3b won't write to dvd-r double layer. I asked k3b to generate rock ridge extensions, as well as joliet. I didn't chose udf. In the advanced dialog, I chose 'allow 103 character joliet...' and 'allow untranslated iso9660...'. It seems k3b recognizes my drive well, and it run a config again, in the first boot with the new device. The problem is, after hitting 'burn', k3b spends some 5 - 10 minutes eating all my cpu, then it starts 'writing', but fails with something like 'drive reports this media as non-recordable'.

K3b's error log follows, removed the irrelevant part.

I have to try to figure what part is failing, if any, so I can return the drive in due time, if I'need to.

The drive is this one:

Before changing to this drive, I had a gsa 4160b working perfectly. Support to dvd-r double layer was the main reason for the change, so you might guess how unhappy i am now :(...

thanks for any inputs!


By the way, this is sarge. More sysinfo goes below.
