Hi,

> Why "invalid"?

Because it is not an ISO 9660 filesystem, regardless of its suffix ".iso". 
Insofar the message of K3B is correct.


If i was annoyed by the dialog window about unreconized image type, then
i'd file a bug with severity "wishlist" saying something like
  "Please remove the confirmation dialog about unrecognizable image file type"
and give the dialog text as pointer to the code:
  "Type of image file is not recognizable. Do you want to burn it anyway?"
I would also point to the changeset
 
https://cgit.kde.org/k3b.git/commit/?id=585067b15d1d3b0d875e092c775f1925e2ba270f
which introduced that dialog in order to give a hint about its reason to be.

As motivation for my wish i would state that only a small set of types is
recognized. Not recognizable are UDF, block-level encrypted ISO 9660,
archive files, ... and possibly more legitimate types for burning to optical
media.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
