Hi, Peter:

  I don't know k3b.  I know mkisofs and cdrecord.
If
  Size of folder that contains file.mpg <= size of CD-R media.
  You have a scsi cdrom or scsi emulation.
  Your CD-ROM/RW drive is device 0,0
   mkisofs -o file.iso /path/to/directory/file.mpg
   cdrecord -R dev=0,0 file.iso
-or-

  mkisofs -R /path/to/file.mpg

#!/bin/bash
#
# /usr/local/bin/burncd.sh
#

eject
cat /usr/local/bin/burncd.sh

echo ""
echo " First argument is <$1>."
echo "Second argument is <$2>."
echo ""

if [ -n $1 ] ; then
  if [ -n $2 ] ; then
   time cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 fs=64M speed=$2 driveropts=burnproof 
gracetime=2 $1
  else
   echo "Second argument is burn speed [1 - 52] and must not be null."
  fi
else
  echo ""
  echo "First argument is filename.ext and must not be null."
  echo ""
fi
eject
mount /mnt/cdrom
ls -l /mnt/cdrom
umount /mnt/cdrom
echo $1
badblocks -vc 256 /dev/cdrom
eject


HTH, Chuck
