I'm using K3b to burn the data disk. As it turns out their meter is wrong. They say the DVD should hold 4.7GB and if I look at the disk info they say the disk is 4.4GB. If I try to burn with more than 4.4GB of data it does not recognize the DVD. When I remove data and go below 4.4GB it recognized the DVD and will burn the data to the disc. Minor bug I would say. All is good now!!
