I think someone needs to put a FAQ somewhere, a 4.7Gb DVD holds about 4.3Bb data. One could try overburning, but this is not a recommendable approach. There apparently is an issue with images close to 4Gb and the implementation of isofs as implemented in Linux. 10.2 uses a different set of tools to 9.3 for CD/DVD burning. K3B was originally designed to work with the older tools and does not always interact well with the current tools when burning. I tend to use K3B to build an ISO image but do any burning from the command line nowadays (curiously once I got used to it I find it a bit easier). Under 9.3 DVD burning was a little less twitchy about media types than the current tools. Entering the following at command line is usually reliable both as a test, and burning an extant image. growisofs -dvd-compat -Z <dvd device>=<iso image> This variant could be tried... growisofs -dvd-compat -overburn -Z <dvd device>=<iso image> but I do not know whether it would work. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
