Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about which DVD writers 
were compatible with Fedora.  I decided on the Plextor PX-712A.  I 
downloaded and tried to burn the FC2 DVD (FC at -i386-DVD.iso) using K3b 
version 0.11.12 in Fedora Core 2.  I used the menu Tools > DVD > Burn 
DVD ISO image...  I get an error with the following Debugging Output:

System
-----------------------
K3b Version:0.11.12
KDE Version: 3.2.2-6 Red Hat
QT Version: 3.3.2

growisofs
-----------------------
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/home/gerry/FC2-i386-DVD.iso of=/dev/hdd 
obs=32k seek=0'
:-( Failed to change write speed: 8310->11080

growisofs comand:
-----------------------
/usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=/home/gerry/FC2-i386-DVD.iso 
-use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -speed=8

I tried Auto speed and also tried setting Speed to 1x, with the same 
results.

Since this was my first try at using the new drive, I booted to Windows 
XP and installed the Roxio software that came with the drive.  It 
successfully burned the DVD, using the same blank disc (the one that 
came with the drive) I had tried in K3b.  Roxio claimed it burned at 12.1x.

Does anyone have a clue what is going wrong with K3b?  I have been using 
K3b for all my CD writing needs and hope to use it for DVDs also.

Thanks.
