It's not hard. You know what sectors you need to burn and how many sectors 
are on the disk. K3b just has a bug. It's either not accounting for 
fragmentation or not accounting for directory size. If you have directories 
with huge numbers of small files, it could be either.

Until you use the explorer to go back to that directory and browse the 
images again, at least in XP.
