Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: brasero
I have twice tried to back up some files/folders with Brasero (Brasero 2.32.0).
Once by bringing Brasero up from the Menu, and once by selecting "Open with
CD/DVD Creator" from the pop-up window created when the disk was inserted.
Both times it seemed to work.
However, when I checked the files (for instance, double clicking on a photo to
bring up the Image Viewer (thumbnails were all the generic JPG symbol instead
of miniature pictures (a bad initial sign...)), a word processor file to bring
up OpenOffice 3.2, or a .pdf. file to bring up the Document Viewer), the action
was unsuccessful - either the program said that something was wrong with the
file and it could not load it, or the file seemed to be gibberish.
I have no idea what the problem is, and Brasero seems not to know anything is
wrong. Does it not compare the original files with the burned final product to
see if it was correctly done?
On the off chance that my disk burner was at fault, I installed a different
burner (GnomeBaker (GnomeBaker 0.6.4)), and had success - all checked files
were fine.
The disks are unlikely to be at fault - they are Taiyo-Yuden/JVC disks.

The following seems obvious, but...
3) What you expected to happen
Files on created disk that identically matched the original files.
4) What happened instead
Files on created disk were unusable.
I have a Dell computer (model as seen above in the uname command) with
2GB, 1.7 Ghz, with a replaced DVD-burner from 3+years past. I had
specified Maximum or 8x burn, but the burns (with Brasero and with
GnomeBaker) seemed to hover around 4x, so that may be the drive max (NO
- it's an 8x max - the disks are 16x DVD-R's)
