I also tried to burn this with tkdvd but it failed too. I don't think
the media is bad. It doesn't appear to be k3b since the other program

difference that I can see. It does sometimes burn and sometimes if I
try again it will burn but it's not getting any better.
K3b is running mkisofs and growisofs at the same time, hence the mixed up
debug output making it hard to see where the error is coming from. Take
the media, drive and growisofs out of the equation by getting K3b to
create an ISO image instead. If that works, write the image to disc with
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/file.iso
At least you'll have a better idea where the problem lies.
I once had a problem just like this and it turned out to be bad media.
The generic cheap priced discs don't always work. The more expensive
name brand generally are better because most, if not all of them,
work.
I doubt it is the media. I have been using the same brand, Verbatim,
for ages and never had a failure. It's even coming from the same box
and is media that I have used for a previous backup with no issues.
Each time I have problems burning a DVD, it is something software. I
stay away from the really cheap junk. I learned that from the problems
people on this list have reported.
While it could be possible, it's not likely.
