I realise now that the disk that did burn correctly was not a DVD-R, but a
DVD+R. Previously the drive had burned either type. I have tried several -R
and -RW disks in k3b, and k3b did not recognise any of them. (The one that
apparently burned from cdrecord/command-line yet could not be read is a
separate mystery.) I have now burned another backup onto a DVD-RW disk.
So, it seems that either k3b, cdrecord, or the drive, no longer will accept -R
or 0RW disks.
