K3B is a gui frontend that launches the cdrecord, mkisofs, growisofs etc CLI commands. However, the interaction between it and these commands is not always brilliant. This further complicated by the fact the underlying tool in SuSE is now wodim which does always return the results that K3B expects. Wodim and is precursor/ancestor are the only non-propriety tools available at the moment in Linux to my knowledge. The safest procedure in K3B is to.... i) create iso image... ii) then burn iso image as two separate actions, this will work with CD data burns nearly always in my experience (DVD is a bit more complex). Burning on the fly from file to disk can run into all sort of different troubles depending on what else the machine is doing and for all I know the current state of Denmark. The results are that unpredictable (and not just in a Linux environment BTW). I have now started to use CLI with wodim/mkisofs/growisofs rather than the K3B gui, so that at least I can attempt to get the result I intend rather than what someone else thinks I need. I have never used X-CD roast but I was under the impression that this was not orientated towards data anyway... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGdBrFasN0sSnLmgIRAtBHAJ4rg4p+nqrKVcqMKEpVx/VOsjgHxwCg2P0W f1M154nSORx9yXlzxZUv6lw= =ULR1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
