I had same problem with 7.9.2009. I used a DVD-R DL with k3b and it worked.

Paul,

If by DVD-R DL you mean "dual layer", that's an 8.5GB media. I just tried using k3B with a Verbatim DVD-R 4.7GB blank disk. In the Burn Medium block it says "Capacity of the medium in ThinkPad Ultraslim DVD (/dev/sr0) is smaller than required".

    Doc:
    
    Not certain what to say. I go to one of the mirrors and pretend to
    download Centos-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso and the size is listed as
    4712300544 bytes or @4.7 gigs. Its that "little bit over" the 4.7
    stated capacity of the Verbatim DVD-R that requires the DVDV-R DL.
    
    I also checked my DVDs and see that the last install I did was from
    Centos 7.8.2003 and not 7.9.2009, apologies for not checking before.
    
    I saved the ISO download on a archive hard drive and here are the
    sizes of the Download:

    Your email says you "I just tried using k3B with a Verbatim DVD-R
    4.7GB blank disk". I think you will have to get a DVD-R DL
    
    Best,
    Paul
