I had similar problems, so I dropped burncd in favour of cdrecord
which I'm using for burning ISO data CDs.

For a CD, try 

	% cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data neroultraV7.iso

Check the SCSI device numbers using

	% camcontrol devlist

and adjust the dev= parameter accordingly.

For a DVD, try

	% growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=neroultraV7.iso

Excange /dev/dvd for the correct drive (e. g. /dev/cd0).

I don't know exactly, but can K3B be adjusted to use a specific
command line burning tool to record pre-mastered ISO files onto
CD or DVD? Maybe you could put one of the command lines above
into this program... (I'm no KDE user, so I can't check this.)
