Thanks to all who have responded ... but I still can't get it to work.
I think the question may boil down to: how can I convert the .img
file that I have into a .iso file? Somewhere I have read that a Linux
utility called 'growisofs' is supposed to be able to do that, but I can't
find how to do that on the 'growisofs' man page.

The only file I can find as a result of using: tools -> DVD -> copy DVD
is a single .img file and no other files seem to have been generated.
I cannot find a separate "TOC" file. However, when I do a command line:
strings k3b_image.img ... I do see a table of contents listed within the
.img file.
You suggested: "You need to set the image type to CUE/BIN or TOC ..."
I don't know how to do that. As far as I can tell, there is no "dropdown in
the upper right corner" ... and I cannot find any "auto-detect" button or
option in the dialog.
The first phase of K3B's: Tools -> DVD -> Copy DVD works fine.
But when I try the second part: Tools -> DVD -> Burn DVD ISO image
there is no "Start" button available - it is grayed out,
and the dialog box says: "Not an ISO 9660 image."
Every time I have struggled with something like this in the past, it has
eventually turned out that an amazingly simple one or two or three short
command line commands was all I really needed. I'll bet that will
eventually turn out to be true here, also ... just a very few short commands
hidden behind a fancy GUI that doesn't work.
