For some reason k3b will no longer burn CDs. It keeps asking me to
insert a blank disc. I ran setup again, but that did nothing. I really
don't remember changing anything before it stopped working. And I really
don't know where to start troubleshooting this. Can anyone help get me
away from windows again?

thanks,

I found I had problems with one particular cheap brand and had to go back to
"good" ones.

Hi Nick,

Could you let us know, what KDE / k3b / cdrtools /SuSE versions you are
using?

Try Xcdroast!

I got the same problem for a while on Suse 8.2

Take a look at your DMA options, put the DMA "on" for your recorder.

Call me stupid, but I thought all CDs were the same. You have CD-R and CD-RW
to distinguish capabilities, but are there differences between each brand
of CD-R discs & CD-RW discs?

Not in the sense that the poster means, but yes there is a difference in
quality between the cheapo CDs and the good ones. You should expect to
toss out a few out of 100 of the cheapos. On some you can even see the
pinholes! But CD writers and drives are very forgiving these days and
cope with a lot of damage. Also if you don't expect the CDs to be used
for more than a while, maybe you don't have to worry.

Yes. It is called quality.

What brands would you recommend? I'm using Fujifilm. I bought that brand
because they have a good name when it comes to camera film.
