I tried it on a Philips CD/DVD writer SDVD6004. That gave the fewest errors, but the disks were useless afterward. They caused errors when read in the same drive. They could be read (sometimes) on other drives.did it always use Wodim?
Wodim is a fork of cdrecord, which isn't in Debian anymore (which itself is a long, fruitless discussion). You could install it from source and hopefully tell k3b to use it.
I had good luck with K3B before this, I always ran KDE and used K3B, I thought it was a great program. I've been doing other things for a few months, finally got around to trying to burn another DVD, and.... ouch! Now I switched to gnome ( my wife still uses KDE & kmail). but I still need a burner..
Also, have you tried DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD+/-RW? (I've found that my burner will not recognize DVD-R disks.)
