        Hi. I every once in a while lose dvd medias with k3b (growisofs)....
    I wonder what is wrong... is it my writer, is it the software, is it the
    media?
        For your information:
        - I am using one of the best medias available here (in the opinion
    of all my friends who burn dvds a lot, RIDATA);
        - I am using a well known dvd burner, the LG "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM
    GSA-4082B" burner
        - My computer is almost completely idle when i burn dvds

        :(
        Please help... the log with the error ocurred in growisofs is below...
        -- Fred
