            Bug ID: 341169
           Summary: Burning iso image to a DVD yields a disc reported as a
                    blank, and verification after burn fails.
           Product: k3b
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Image Formats
          Assignee: k3b at kde.org

Version 2.0.2 is current for Mint 17.  Sorry if this has been fixed. 
Everything else seems fine, but if I burn an iso image to a DVD, the disc is
reported as blank (even on other machines).  This despite the fact that content
can be seen by directly examining the disc surface.  Using the same iso image
on the same hardware but with Brasero produces bootable discs.  Initially I
thought my optical drive was failing...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Download iso image.
2.  Insert blank DVD.
3.  Use k3b to burn image to disc.  (No error is reported, unless k3b is asked
to verify written data.)
4.  Attempt to mount or boot from disc.  System reports blank DVD.

Actual Results:  
Coasters.   If you like wasting time, you >can< use them again as "blank"
discs, since the systems can't tell they've been burned already.

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to boot from the disc, or at least mount it.
