You should be able to do that with dd.
of course I solved as suggested changing the image folder....but in my opinion
for a new Linux user it should not happen to have to change any k3b setting as
it should work immediately or to have to use dd. Please note that this is a
fresh Fedora 20 installation and it is the first time that I wanted to make a
DVD copy on this machine (it didn't happen for example in F18 or F19 on another
machine)
Tnx to all
The "reason" it happened was probably due to changes which means /tmp is now
mounted as tmpfs.

You may want to consider writing a bugzilla asking to change the defaults of
k3b to use /var/tmp.
Or you could just ask k3b to use a different temp directory.
Many programs will honour the $TMPDIR environment variable, which I personally
tend to set to $HOME/tmp.
I do not know if k3b pays it any attention, but you can try:
$ mkdir $HOME/tmp
$ TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp k3b
Regarding /tmp as tmpfs being "idiocy", many platform do this. Solaris used to
years and years ago. It makes /tmp really fast. And really, /tmp is for small
stuff and is meant to be cleaned out regularly.
No matter how big it is, some tasks will exceed what /tmp offers. Take control:
use a temp dir of your own for big stuff. DVDs are still big.
