Stop using any AUTO settings and don't use AUTO in any of the drop down box options. Choose DAO and ISO9660 to burn an image or iso. Now DAO appears as the default option when I open K3b. Choose SAO to burn a dvd data disc. Please get back if you have any queries. Thanks in advance. -- Empty Disc Recognised, but still Asks for Empty DVD upon Burn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to k3b in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
