Today, My first time to write a dvd in Arch, I used Ubuntu, when I open K3B it shows me a message "No CD/DVD writer found.". What I need install in Arch to it find my dvd writer?

thanks

Probably you don't have rights to manage the dvdrw,
try with

sudo gpasswd -a nick optical

if you're using sudo, else use root.
this should add you to the optical group whom manage the dvd drive

and set 664 permissions on /dev/sr0

I had to set 777 permission on /dev/sr0

Setting permissions on device files is not a good idea, they get reset to udev defaults on the next reboot.
Adding your user to the right group is almost always the right idea.

P.S.: You'll have to relogin for group changes to apply.
