I don't know if it helps, but I recently purchased a DVD burner for
myself and (for some weird reason), it always requires that I run
`cdrecord -fix` after each disc I burn for the disc to be valid,
but only for DVDs, not for CD-R/RWs (though I've only tried burning
a single audio CD so far).
I've never tried the Video DVD authoring feature of k3b. I always
make a Video DVD ISO file with mkisofs, then burn the DVD iso image
with k3b.
It's pretty simple to use mkisofs after you've set up your DVD
directory with the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories.
I use a command like this:
mkisofs -o dvd.iso -V "Movie Name" -dvd-video -v /path/to/DVD
Also, I found a tip about setting the -dvd-compat flag with growisofs
in k3b on this web page:
