Ok, I played around with k3b and I can now erase a DVD-RW but I have to uncheck 
quick format.
Here is what happens when I type cdrecord -v in the terminal
$ cdrecord -version
Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd 
Wodim 1.1.10

I put the cdrtools-2.01.01 folder on my desktop and typed

~/Desktop/cdrtools-2.01.01$ cdrecord -version
Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd 
Wodim 1.1.10

When looking at k3b my search path for cdrecord points to wodim instead
of /usr/bin/record

Once the original cdrecord is corrrected, I assume I can use k3b with this 
original version of cdrecord.
I can't do a print screen right now but will try later.
