Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that did not help. I installed the
packman version, but I am still getting:
/media/dvdram: No medium found
However, I did try the trick of removing and them re-adding the modules. That
worked.

It would be nice if k3b decided that there were problems with the encoding of
files names **before** it started writing. I cannot even begin count how man
times it barfed because a file a character in its name that k3b did not like,
but already started writing the DVD or CD. After which I could only throw the
media away.
