Comment 128 for bug 213215

having issue burning DVDs, in processx now of ordering some brand new TDK CD-RWs no, which have worked in the past, but for some reason burning even with k3b hasn't worked for me for a while, is this all being phased out i lieu of flash drives or something? I do hope not ;)

here's the output of my k3b from 1/7/2018
