[Bug 481536] Re: k3b fails to burn larger dvd images (about 4gb) when using wodim

[Schily]

You are not using cdrecord but wodim. You thus cannot expect that 
writing to DVDs works at all. 
 
wodim is a fork made from a more than 4 year old cdrecord version 
by adding plenty of bugs and by replacing the mature DVD support 
from the original cdrecord by something half baken. Note that if 
you use wodim instead of cdrecord you most likely also have a 
buggy variant from mkisofs called "genisoimage" that creates  
defective filesystems and in addition does not support files 
> 4 GB and UTF-8 coded character sets. 
 
I recommend to install revent original software, it has no known 
bugs 
 
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ 
 
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ 

In your specific case, you also first need to call "cdrecord blank=all"
as the disk was written in a mode that is not compatible with SAO 
recording.
