If you tried using the prior udf dvd then I would think it wouldn't
work. Did you try formating that dvd before you tried burning to it?
I always use a cd/dvd R/W to check the iso out before I burn to a cd/dvd R,
just in case.

When you select the iso file, does k3b show it is reading it? Does it
show an Md5 checksum?
I just tried, as a user & as root, on an amd64 box and a K7 box. K3b
v1.0.3-2 on the amd64 box and k3b v0.12.17-9 on the k7 box and they
both created a bootable DVD. I just selected "Burn DVD ISO Image"
after if formated the DVD R/Wg. Both boxes are running testin and kernel
2.6.21-2.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
