K3B. It always errors out because it claims the disc is in use (well, yeah, it's mounted!). The last time this happened (a few days ago), I extracted the erasure command from K3B's log and created a shell script to do the job, complete with umount. That works just fine. (I'm open to K3B suggestions that would be more convenient here - hint, hint.... :-)
:
What you need to do is: before letting K3B try to erase the dvd/rw is to manually umount the volume, then k3b will work fine. (as root, type in "mount", figure out which one is the volume in question, then issue a "umount <mountpoint>" still as root.)
Or just right-click the icon and select "Unmount"....
Shell scripts work fine, too.
