Try using -pad.  I haven't burned a coaster in years (on probably four
or five burners).  DVDs are sadly another matter, but even then my
failure rate has been about 5-8%, not too shabby really, and that was
on an older DVD burner.

I also use the ATA: drive specification and burnfree
(driverops=burnfree) if your drive supports it.  I always use cdrecord
at the command line (I hate the idea of having to load in most of KDE
just to run k3b).
