When I burned my (semi-complete) backups to dvd, I used growisofs from dvd+rw-tools, with the 'slot.x' vtape directory in an ext2 filesystem in a file dvd.ext2, and burned it as root with # growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.ext2 I wrote a script to erase and refill the dvd.ext2 file after each burn, I'm not sure if it counts as a "tape changer" script. I could post it if it might be useful. If you can tolerate ISO9660, then using the slot directory directly should work: # growisofs -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /backups/full/slot1 The problems you've got look like general KDE problems, not sure how to help with them sorry.
