I tried a older version of k3b and different versions of cdrtools with 
no change.  Also tkdvd doesn't work either. Slightly different error but 
still doesn't burn.

Posted on kde mailing list to see if this is some known issues with 
k3b.  Maybe hardware?  Maybe I am not holding my mouth right when I 
click burn?

P. S.  Also headed to newegg to see what a new burner costs.  Jörg, do 
you have any recommendations on a really good burner that has few issues 
with software?  I hear that some have software issues and figure I may 
as well avoid that if I need a new one.
