Burning an iso shouldnt be a problem. But if you are compiling a new dvd
or cd you may get error like was not able to allocate memory. this
problem relates to the growisofs. Newer kernel doesnt allow it to
acquire low level memory I suppose.
Fix is 
go to Settings: configure k3b: Programs: User parameters:
and put the following parameter against growisofs
-use-the-force-luke=bufsize:16m
This works for me
