DVD Burn under k3b



Greetings:
I'm running Suse 10.0 and cannot burn data DVD's (or Cd's).
with a Plextor 716A burner. The burner works (I burned the
Suse 10.0 iso under 9.1) but not under 10.0. The burner
spins up for about 60 seconds, then seems to hang while
writing track 1 of 1. I have attached the log file in hope that
someone can shed a little light on my problem.

Thanks
