Cannot burn DVD but can burn CD's.

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

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!!
