Don't know, but the real cdrecord does burn to dvds even Blue Ray Media, but this not part of the question, right?

File it against k3b.  

Why?
Like you have said, it used growisofs at one point.  Now it wants to use wodim, why does it want to change behavior.

BTW,
k3b-2.0.0 has been released.  Maybe there Rex, Kevin, and other KDE devlopers can include the fix?
