1) Create directory that will contain your disk contents
2) copy files as you wish, in correct hierarchy using du to make sure
you are below the size limit of the disk.
3) md5sum * > ../mydisk.md5  (or md5deep -r -l * > ../mydisk.md5 if the
dir contains subdirectories)
4) burn disk
5) mount, cd to mounted disk path, md5sum -c /path/to/md5sumfile.md5

So the sums of all the files are taken before writing the disk, and so
you have these for reference. I know - it's not a GUI solution so not
everyone will like it - but that's how I do it.

It's not a huge amount of work.

And this way if there are problems, you get a report telling you which
*file* was bad, rather than K3b saying "ooops! disk is bad" (but I'm not
sure if K3b nowadays will report which files failed).
