I can't seem to do it... K3B Says "Empty BDR Medium, Please insert any empty DVD medium into drive" Brasero says "Please rplace the disc with a support DVD or CD"

I don't know what to do. The ISO won't fit onto a CD and I don't have any DVDs Even though the image is small enough to fit onto a dvd it should still support burning onto a BDR. I'm at a loss. Any help would be great.

Hm, strange...
If you have an ISO you can usually burn it at every optical media (CD-R / DVD-R / BD-R) as long as the media is big enough for the ISO.
I have an external BD burner on which I burn HD MKVs files from time to time. Usually I master an ISO with UDF first by using ImgBurn under WINE and afterwards I burn it either with Brasero or XFBurn. Given your burner has no problems with a specific format (CD/DVD/BR) I can hardly imagine that you can not burn your iso.

You might give XFBurn a try....

Thanks for your response.. Yeah, I don't know what is going on here. It seems like it should work, but it doesnt. As long as the iso is small enough to fit it should burn.

Another may be stupid idea:
Why not try and burn your ISO with growisofs...
The is an example at the Backup to DVD Wiki entry on the syntax:

At least in commandline / bash you might get a speaking error message.

Yeah, Thank you, It does indeed work with growisofs and cdrecord.

It still seems weird that the gui burners wont let it happen though.

Glad it helped :D

Honestly even without problem I use a rather huge set of console tools, self-written scripts and GUI tools for my various burning work, since no tool incorporates all my needs.
