I haven't re-read all this in depth, but I believe you are hoping to
*write* to the optical disk, not play it. So you probably need to go to
Setup > Media Settings > Archive Files Settings > Location of DVD
The procedure for manipulating the GUI may have changed recently, but I
would think you could change the name there. I'm afraid I used to
create an .iso file with an embedded checksum (for future use) and
burn/verify with k3b.
