It was probably one of those wild threads of mine? :)) However, I was trying to burn a Double Layer DVD+R as opposed to a Dual Layer DVD-R with what seems to be a low end DVD writer. After a number of rather expensive coasters and days of headache from excessive googling, I came to the conclusion that Double Layer burning is as temperamental as CD burning was 15 years ago. From what I ascertained the brand of the DVD media is more important than any other parameter that I could I find. Someone suggested using Verbatim, but I haven't yet bought any to try, because I could only find them in packs of 10 last time I looked. By that time I had reached the no return point whereby any additional penny would be better spent buying a more expensive DVD writer in the hope of it being compatible with more DVD brands. Then HD-DVD and Blue-Ray appeared in the horizon and decided that I could wait after all. Good luck and post back if you find a DVD brand that works with your writer. PS. K3B should be able to record DL DVD -- Regards, Mick pgpeHKllQwo6n.pgp Description: PGP signature

Some brands of DVDs always work, some rarely work and some never work depending on the make of your DVD writer. Other than googling for other user's experience with particular media that have the same hardware like yours and perhaps looking at the OEM recommendations, I don't know what to suggest -- Regards, Mick pgpGNbdD0muDf.pgp Description: PGP signature

I never succeeded to burn a dual or double layer DVD under linux.
