Tried to burn an iso image to dvd-r and K3b fails. Here is the report that it gives, can somebody tell me what is going wrong?..... Does K3b support DVD-R? Burned media

Based on the output you've given, I suspect either the drive or the disc isn't able to handle the burning process.

Code: Select all

How long did the burn take before the process failed?
