This could have been a multi-session cd and the data
part got mounted.  I have had this happen several
times.  One thing to try and do, is make a clone image
and make k3b force eject the cd.  I was successfull
copying such a cd.  

For DVD's, it is a whole different story.  If the DVD
that you want to make a copy of a dvd that is already
4.3GB you can make a 1-1 copy of it.  If it is the
8.5GB to 9GB variety(Original movie not a backup),
you'll have to go through the trouble of transcoding
and then authoring to fit on one and then burn it. 
Which is a pain in the ...?  

On the brighter side, k3b is working nicer with
versions 0.12.4 -> 0.12.9? 10.  To try it out, get the
latest one from their homepage and compile from
source.  The latest version(s) will work out better as
they have worked better for me, (the no eject
problem), I do not have it.  I am running k3b 0.12.4a.

Merry Christmas to you too and all users of Fedora and
other distros too.
