I'm using K3b to burn the data disk. As it turns out their meter is wrong. They say the DVD should hold 4.7GB and if I look at the disk info they say the disk is 4.4GB. If I try to burn with more than 4.4GB of data it does not recognize the DVD. When I remove data and go below 4.4GB it recognized the DVD and will burn the data to the disc.

Minor bug I would say.  All is good now!!

I have seen burning software get weird with an explicit choice in
burning medium. so if you make it think CD and not DVD it will see a
DVD and say media not valid. I have seen this in Windows and Linux
software.

Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron 660 running Mint 17 KDE.  I was trying to
burn a DVD and cannot.  I get a popup shortly after I insert the
DVD which allows me to open the burner software, however is says
something to the effect that the medium is not valid.   I can burn
CD's but not DVD's.  A search of Google turns up a bunch of folks
having the same issue with their Win boxes.  Most of them said it
was a driver issue.

I can play a DVD movie.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Keith
