Bug Description
Binary package hint: k3b
When writing to a DVD+RW or DVD-RW (I tried both) with k3b on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, it first tried to erase the DVD before use, which is the expected behaviour.
After erasing has finished, it displays an error message ('erasing failed' or something) and dismissing this message lets the writing continue as planned, without any issues.
It is not a horrible bug but it can annoy quite a few people to death if they don't notice that everything was in fact successful.

I've noticed that I seen this error happen on Kubuntu 8.04 and k3b 1.04 and k3b 1.05. I've been able to erase ritekW01 DVD-RWs that are made by Maxell but not RITEKW01 DVD-RWs that aren't screen printed on the label.
