Hi;
 I also have this problem with k3b.
You cannot burn DVDs as root.
This is due to growisofs.

Here is a shell script that works to burn .iso files (burn-dvd.sh)

growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z/dev/dvd="$1"

you need to give it the full path to the .iso file
e.g.
./burn-dvd.sh /mnt/nt*/mydvd.iso
