Can't get Verbatim DVD W or RW to work with K3b.
Any recommendation for a make of DVD that is known to work?
I presume we're talking disks? Any of the big name dvds will work fine. No-name ones work, sort of, in that you will get a percentage of coasters, so they're not economical, but do-able if you can't get anything else.

Nope! 'Big name', or well know brand names mean very little, more often, absolutely nothin! Practically no brand name media are made by the advertised vendor. The only way to know for sure who actually makes the disk is to do;
All of that is true, but the fact remains that big name manufacturers can't afford to get themselves linked to bad suppliers - they depend upon keeping their good name.
Wrong again Anne. But that's just the facts, my opinion and experience that I posted. You are welcome to add yours to your community twiki. Jeez I never thought I'd be encouragin you to spread marginal to false opinion on your twiki, but go ahead. It's full of it anyhow.
Memorex is a well known 'big name' brand that depends on the public's perception of their 'quality'. Fact is they make none of their discs, and as I stated, the 'brand' Verbatim, that Charles was tryin, well they don't make theirs either. MOF all 'big name' brands buy from various quality often unknown disc manufacturers. Decent to sometimes very poor.
The media quality is probly the last of Charles problems. More likely the backend, specially if it's cdrecord needs to be updated to the latest (cdrecord-2.01.01-0.a01.4mdk). Warly has been continually workin with J�rg Schilling to add DVD support for cdrecord. A work in progress. Or equally possible he's dependin on a GUI to make (often poor to just plain wrong) backend option choices for him. Another is burnin on-the-fly, rather than makin a proper image on the HDD, and then burnin from that.
