WORK AROUND FOR THE K3b problem: hang at the end of DVD-R[W] DAO
recording.

The problem was observed with image sizes not divisible by 32KB. It
manifests itself as I/O error in the last WRITE command, which is caused
by latter's timeout. The recording per se is properly completed by unit
and no data loss occurs. To work around the timeout condition, pad input
image file up to the nearest 32KB boundary or avoid DAO recordings.

One way to pad is to:

perl -e '$blk=32*1024; $nm=@ARGV[0]; $sz=(stat($nm))[7];
truncate($nm,int(($sz+$blk-1)/$blk)*$blk);' example.iso

IT WORKED FOR ME!!!
