Thanks for this. I did check for the error messages I was getting but 
not for this particular one you have above and what was suggested 
(including the one above) did nothing [even after I replaced the burner 
and got the error messages when burning discs #5 and #6 as mentioned in 
my response to Richard]. With a new DVRW coming tomorrow, I'll come 
closer to finding out if it is the device or Ubuntu/k3b.

(BTW, reading the search results in google re the problem only confirms 
what others have said which is that it is easier and quicker to ask in 
this mail list rather than go wading thru google-doogle: the most recent 
advices seen in the doogle were dated 2008 while some went back to 2004 
or so - not exactly up-to-date information.)
