You don't mention how old the drive is nor how old your version of the 
OS you have.

Some time ago - a couple of years or so - I had absolutely zero chance 
of burning a DL. I could burn a 4.3GB +R and -R discs but not a +R DL 
disc. (BTW, I always use k3b to burn my discs.)

It turned out that at that time k3b just did not like the DL+R discs. No 
way jose would it burn a +R DL disc.

However, when I inserted a -R DL disc it burnt it without a whimper.

Have you tried burning a -R DL disc? You never know......

(BTW, that problem with not burning +R DL discs has now been resolved 
and I can burn +/- R dual and single layer discs.)

PS You do have the correct codecs installed, right?
