Bug Description
I am trying to write a blu-ray ISO to a rewritable disc which already contains data.
If I try to write the new ISO over the old data, K3B just asks me to replace the disc with a blank one.
If I try to erase the disc, K3B tells me "no need to erase blu-ray rewritables, just write over it."
If I try to force erase the disc, K3B scolds me for doing it, saying "the disc may become unusable after 10-20 formats", and then doesn't erase the disc.
As a result, I can't write the ISO to this rewritable media using K3B.
