Hi,
I just found out that I can’t burn (or create ISO file for) a video DVD with K3b on my Leap 42.2 system.
K3b is the current up-to-date version 2.9.90+git20170220.0453-8.15, installed from Pacman repo.
And yes, Pacman is already the default source of installations, especially for multimedia packages.
As far as Yast could help me with this, all my packages are at their up-to-date versions.
Unfortunately for me, K3b refuses to burn and/or to create a ISO file for a video DVD project.
It immediately throws me these error messages:
“The project does not contain all necessary Video DVD files.
The resulting DVD will most likely not be playable on Hifi DVD player.
Could not determine size of resulting image file.”
And the Debug console contains this:

I can’t even understand why it tries to create or use some temporary folder in /tmp, since the setting for temporary files is already changed to another folder (where yes, permissions are OK, and that partition has lots of free space).
And because I tried this just now, after a very long time of not using this option (the previous try was very likely more than 2 years ago…), I can’t blame any recent update to the relevant packages (K3b and other that may be involved).
Please, does any one else have the same issue ?
Maybe I’m missing something (though I can’t figure out what; apparently I’d say I have all relevant packages installed, including k3b-codecs).
P.S. I even tried to author a video DVD using ManDVD, with 3 simple videos in clasic formats (AVI, mp4); not even these are OK for my K3b – I have the same error.
Of course, all necessary video files are there (the VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VTS_01*** files). It has to be some K3b error, somewhere.
