I have had many different drives over the past 5 years and never once run
into this issue.  Burning just simply works.  Doesn't matter if it's a CD,
DVD or what.  I burn movies all day long.  Various types of files.  bin/cue,
ISO, IMG, AVI, MPEG, it doesn't matter as k3b just burns them as it should.
