DVD burning goosed?

[Paul]

Hi,

Using kernel 2.6.11-1.1185_FC4, k3b-0.11.17-2, mkisofs-2.01.1-8.

I'm trying to burn to my NEC 3500a dual layer DVD burner and it
permanently crashes out at 9% of the burn. The burner is physically
sound (burns CDs fine, reads DVDs fine, burns about 9% of the disc
fine ;-p) and I'm using brand new Bulkpaq 4x DVD-R discs (which I've
used plenty of times before now).

At 9%, the burn dies - irrespective of if I'm using nautilus-burner or
k3b with the following error

Is this likely to be a burner fault or is DVD burning currently a bit
broken? I've not tried this using another kernel - it's been a while
since I did any burning.

TTFN
