Asked by dancy

I have been backing up my dvd library with k9copy and then burning with k3b. Worked great 5 times then k3b stopped burning. It says the following:

Being new to Ubuntu this log means nothing to me. Please help. I don't know what I am doing differently. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

please stop using k3b and other linux application for burning videos.i think that one stuck at encoding,this is very buggy for even windows application.i strongly suggest u use xp based application like Nero even nerolinux is available.lots of freewares also for
xp.note"NO GOOD VIDEO BURNING APPLICATION EXISTS FOR LINUX TILL DATE
i heard much about MANDVD,dvdstyler,kino,devede all are buggy and crappy.nothing works out of box and are all alpha stages.
