Hi,

I was just given a Maddog Megastor MD-18XTFE bought in a Radio Shack store which I tried out with k3b 0.12.10 under KDE 3.4.3. I tried burning a DVD with data from my hard disk and this is the error I immediately got:

Does anyone have any idea of what this means? Can this USB-based external DVD burner be used with Debian?

Is there a better DVD burner for Debian I could try out?

Many thanks for any help!
