Hello Bobby,

It should be, but I notice your file is approx 4.4Gig in size.  This is
right on the limit of what a single layer disk can handle.  It might be
that, due to rounding, you can't see that the file is bigger than a
single layer disk will handle.  Also, check the amount of free space
where the temporary files are going to be written.  IIRC, K3b defaults
to using /tmp and on my system, that's way too small to cope with
4Gig.  So try setting the temporary files area to somewhere in ~, but
make sure it's an empty directory.

If you need to try with a dual layer disk, it goes without saying (I
hope) that you need a drive that can burn dual layer disks.

Add the files to your project, and select "Burn"  When the dialogue box
comes up, tick "Only create image".  Now the Image tab becomes
available, and you can edit the path and .iso file's name there.
