This is sort of weird and did not happen before. Am now using K3b 2.0.2 and KDE 4.6.5. Each night i burn a two directory (Audio_TS and Video_TS) to my DVD-RW and now each time the program asks if i want to format the disk first. The program only offers a Yes or Cancel so i must format it. The program formats the disk again and then ejects it and another window pops up and i must click on the Load button and then the program burns the files.

If i remember correctly, this Format Disk only happened when i inserted a new DVD-RW the first time. Then on the following nights all i had to do was to just burn the files.

Is this a bug or is there some setting i'm missing?

Thank you for any help and have a great evening!

If you try this with other disks does this recur?

Thanks for asking, bcooksley! i appreciate your time and effort.

"If you try this with other disks does this recur?"

Uh, i don't have any other type of disks - CDs, etc. - just the DVD-RW, Memorex, 10 Pack from Wall-Mart.

It's pretty strange bec. i have in the main window towards the bottom another icon which says: "New Video DVD Project" and this is what i use to supposedly burn the new video files on top of the old ones. If i hit the icon which says More Actions... i see a menu which does have the Continue Multisession Project listed.

Have a great morning !

Hmm. Can you reproduce this issue under a new user?

i have a user called guest which hasn't been used and when i try to burn the files to the DVD it asks whether i wish to format the disk or not.

Thanks for helping and have a great afternoon!

If you try a new disk (doesn't need to be a different manufacturer, batch - just a different/new disk) does this occur with that disk?

Your old disk may be aging - causing it formatting problems.

Thanks again for helping!

"If you try a new disk (doesn't need to be a different manufacturer, batch - just a different/new disk) does this occur with that disk?"

This i have tried as well and it proceeds to place the files on the new disk, this time without asking (as i think it used to do) if i wanted to format the disk first.

Then, the next day, when i want to burn the new files, i get the popup asking if i want to format the disk.

Have a wonderful afternoon!

Okay, I unfortunately don't have any ideas here - other than perhaps you might want to try just adding files perhaps to see if it has the same reaction?

Thank you again for replying!

i'll have to try that the next time and see what happens.

Have a great morning! and thanks again.
