You have repeated that statement already many times, but you still seem 
to be missing the point anyways. The OP has already reformatted the 
DVDs, so it is too late to tell him that it isn't necessary. And 
formatting a disc with k3b doesn't put a filesystem on the disc, so you 
can't mount the disc to write data to it.
