[NTLUG:Discuss] k3b not recognizing blank DVD

[Steve Baker]

I had that problem with my DVD drive a few months ago - it eventually
turned out that that it didn't like whatever flavor of DVD I was using
at the time (I forget whether it was +R, -R, +RW or whatever).  The box
that the drive came in claimed that it supported everything - and
subsequent tests under Windows showed that it really does - but
evidently something was tricking K3B into thinking that it couldn't.
But the symptoms were identical...it would claim that the disk wasn't blank.

If you check back through the archives for posts from me - you'll find
the details.
