Is this about not being able to write to DVD (or CD for that matter) 
files greater than a certain length?  If that's the case, again K3b 
deals with it, telling you that it has done so (something to do with 
Joliet, which, when I looked it up on the internet, said that, apart 
from a town in the USA, where, I presume the process was invented, it's 
about cutting filenames down to the required size - or, at least, is 
about the protocol that doesn't allow longer filenames).
