Ubuntu doesn't seem interested in this bug (it's been around for a long time apparently) and I've noticed other people reporting the same bug. Nero Linux seems to have its own problems (can't seem to write dual layer DVDs and can't handle upper and lower case correctly for blu-ray using UDF (and Nero apparently has no intentions of fixing this or making any changes or improvements to the Linux version of Nero EVER - so why buy Nero Linux?)
My work-around is to use xorriso using "-as cdrecord" argument. There is a simple example included in the man page that seems to work with any media. I've used xorriso to burn dual layer DVDs and 25 GB blu-ray UDF images. (Nero Linux, as mentioned above, does not handle UDF for unix/linux correctly - it complains if you have names that would be the same except for case.) xorriso burns the UDF image (which I create first using mkudffs as illustrated above) without any error or warning messages. And I have checked the discs and can't find any problems with them. I'm not sure why burning blu-ray discs is such a mystery on Ubuntu and Linux in general. It's difficult (if not impossible) to find clear, easy to understand examples on the web. If someone knows a good tutorial I would love to see it. I also don't understand why growisofs is not fixed. xorriso seems to be currently worked on. The only problem with using xorriso with "-as cdrecord" is that it seems to only accept cdrecord options and I haven't found a way to given a volume id to the disc. It always labels the disc as "Linux UDF" (which I can live with). xorriso has a "-volid" option but it doesn't work with "-as cdrecord". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to dvd+rw-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1113679 Title: Close session failed when burning 25gb blu-ray disc Status in “dvd+rw-tools” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I create an image burn and then try to use growisofs to burn it to a 25GB blu-ray recordable disc using Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit). rick@rick-CT14:~/Downloads$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) Release: 13.04 rick@rick-CT14:~/Downloads$ apt-cache policy growisofs growisofs: Installed: 7.1-10build1 Candidate: 7.1-10build1 Version table: *** 7.1-10build1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I expected to burn a blu-ray 25GB disc without error messages and without corrupted files.

I haven't found any bad files on the disc. I've tried using k3b which "sort of" works but also has problems closing the disc (and in some cases some files are corrupted or bad). I've used the demo version of Nero for Linux on the same system - it creates a blu- ray disc without reporting any errors or problems. I'd rather not have to depend on proprietary software.
