    How Do I make k3b Close A Data DVD+RW?

    I'm trying to backup my data files to a DVD+RW and for some reason even though I set k3b to "No Multisession" k3b doesn't close the DVD. What do I have to do to make k3b burn a data DVD+RW and close the stupid thing instead of leaving it open for more data? Thanks for any help.

    Ok, I found out I was doing wrong.

    First I had to set the “Permissions” in k3b so by checking off
    cdrdao
    cdrecord
    growisofs
    so that each of them was set to root. That’s done in the “Found Programs” window in “Settings", “Set Up System Permissions”.

    Then in “Set Up K3b”, “Advanced", I had to un-check “Automatically erase CD-RW’s and DVD-RW’s”. DVD-RW’s and DVD+RW's should never be erased only over written.
