Hello,

What are your burning settings (DVD format, writing mode, file system, 
Multisession mode)? I'd guess the solution is hidden there. In particular 
I've experience problems reading multisession DVDs with Linux and I don't 
know why the last versions of K3b seem to default to "auto" while older ones 
defaulted to "no multisession".

Possible other infos to help debug your problem: Drive model, DVD type (are 
you using RW?). Are your DVDs to be read in other machines?

Regards,

Thierry
