well don't forget you can do a dual layer dvd for 9.8 or so.

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!!

I have seen burning software get weird with an explicit choice in
burning medium. so if you make it think CD and not DVD it will see a
DVD and say media not valid. I have seen this in Windows and Linux
software.

Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron 660 running Mint 17 KDE.  I was trying to
burn a DVD and cannot.  I get a popup shortly after I insert the
DVD which allows me to open the burner software, however is says
something to the effect that the medium is not valid.   I can burn
CD's but not DVD's.  A search of Google turns up a bunch of folks
having the same issue with their Win boxes.  Most of them said it
was a driver issue.

I can play a DVD movie.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Keith

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
