K3B doesn't start

I tried to burn a dvd with k3b by trying a simulation first. The program doesn't give errors but it stays stuck at 0% and after some time ejects the dvd. On the same pc with another distro and still with k3b I can burn. My user is in the "optical" group and I get no errors of missing permissions. I tried to run k3b from terminal and this is the output:

Where am I going wrong, all dependencies are met. Thank you.

Re: K3B doesn't start

Ciao m3nhir!
Can you get infos? Please execute as normal user:

$ cdrdao disk-info /dev/sr0

while a (blank) disk is inserted

Re: K3B doesn't start

Ciao m3nhir!

$ cdrdao disk-info /dev/sr0

while a (blank) disk is inserted

Here's what it returns:

 $ cdrdao disk-info /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653G      Rev: LW02
Using driver: Generic SCSI-3/MMC - Version 2.0 (options 0x0000)
That data below may not reflect the real status of the inserted medium
if a simulation run was performed before. Reload the medium in this case.
CD-RW                : n/a
Total Capacity       : n/a
CD-R medium          : n/a
Recording Speed      : n/a
CD-R empty           : n/a

I tried the terminal command:

 growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso 

The dvd was correctly written. I can't figure out where the problem is.

Are your user's permissions set-up correctly inside K3B? Please have a look at: https://userbase.kde.org/K3b#Pre-setup

Re: K3B doesn't start

Sorry for the delay in replying but I was out of town for work and could not access my home pc. I checked my user's permissions and groups. My user is part of the "optical" group to which k3b-managed programs also belong. Checking on the other distro I noticed ch programs like "cdrdao" and "cdrecord" in k3b have different permissions: On Arch they are 4701 while on the other distro 4711. As soon as I can I will try to change the permissions of the two programs on Arch to see if it works.
On k3b it won't let me change permissions to programs. If I select the item, the "change permissions" button remains unselectable, while I expect it to open a window for me to enter the root pwd
