Hi, >From the bug reports on k3b there seems to be an issue when there are a mixture of ide and scsi or sata drives. Apparently, from what I understand, K3b is a front end using cdrado and as it was some time ago that I spent researching this I can not remember the exact details in the bug reports. I did spend a lot of time and cds trying the various suggestions in the bug reports but eventually, after some weeks, gave up.
I tried again last weekend and no updates had resolved the issues for me. Not being a technophile, I am reluctant to blindly change config files. > I've never encountered anything that K3B couldn't burn that > wasn't my fault.

It is either a setting I do not know about or a bug that affects my combination of drives or the ability to lock the drive. If there are settings for k3b I did mean that I want to use a gui ... But be that as it may, with respect, the issue of the file sizes was avoided in your reply :-) <grin> David On Tue, 2008-11-11 at 12:05 +1000, Paul Gear wrote: > David Ryder wrote: > > ... > > First, I sincerely apologise for mucking people up this morning with two > > emails I should have written when not being interrupted. > > We all have our moments. :-) > > > ... > > I am trying to convert 124.9MB of 18 mp3 files to wav format.
