If you're looking for the simplest answer, upgrade to SUSE 9. I've
burned a couple of data DVDs using SUSE 9 + K3b. 

If I understand correctly, cdrtools doesn't support burning full DVDs
because the author has pushed the code into a proprietary product for
DVDs and you have to have a key of some sort to get the binaries to
work. There is a "clone" project, I believe, which is what comes with
SUSE 9. (I may be a bit off here, the cdrtools website isn't exactly
clear...)

Best,
