Wow, quick feedback, much appreciated. I installed Brasero from Ayan's PPA on my Precise. I disabled the image checksum plugin and created a data DVD. Direct burn was disabled so I checked it (this is what we are trying to fix right?).
Burn was "successful" as per Brasero (and no log created) but alas the DVD is not recognized when I put it in (and it was my last blank so no more testing for now...). I validated that my DVD bruner was reading other DVDs ok. Anything else I can do (aside telling my buddy to get a flash drive, which would be a good idea anyway ;) )? @Martin: Yes, I understand burning DVDs is not something widely used. Heck I even chose to not have a DVD reader in my latest laptop. But if a feature is availalbe (installed by default) users will expect it to work. In the current situation it would be better to hide the functionnality altogether (at least direct burn). I know this is not easy and it may be simpler to just put the fix in ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780117 Title: Brasero finishes without error but unusable media [on-the-fly mode] (Ubuntu 11.04 ->12.04) Status in A disc burning application for gnome 2: New Status in OEM Priority Project: Triaged Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: Triaged Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Status in “brasero” package in Fedora: New Bug description: Binary package hint: brasero When I burn a DVD (4,7 and 8,5 GB) Brasero show the progressbar till about 30-40% (exact point is randomly) and than says, that it is finalizing the media. This finalizing messages is showing for the rest of the burning process (~10min @8x 8,5GB). After that, it ejects the media without any error. But when I insert the media again, nothing happens, except, that the DVD-Drive disappears from the "computer:///" location in nautilus. This problem only exists when burning On-The-Fly. Burning ISO Images or automatic creation of ISO Images before burning works without problems. The burning speed doesn't matter to this problem. I test 8x, 4x and 2x. All the same problem. On-The-Fly burning using K3B works quite well @8x speed. One thing I also notice is, that Brasero uses 100% CPU on one core, while K3B uses just about 5-15%. I attached the last Brasero log. I don't know, why it just says, that it was only at 49% and then says it's finished. The burning took about 28 minutes. The media was unusable on all my three devices (Linux/Windows).
