** Description changed: Binary package hint: brasero Using Ubuntu 9.04 x64. Brasero 2.26.1 I have seen that a similar bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/349096 has been flagged as invalid. I think this is a valid bug report. A quick description of the bug is: Ubuntu can read long file name in a data DVD written by a Windows software. The opposite is not always true. Brasero writes something in the DVD so that Windows only see capitalized - 8.3 folder / file name. But when read under Ubuntu, all the log file - name are intact. + 8.3 folder / file name. But when read under Ubuntu, all the long file + names are intact. It is not a long file name problem. Brasero can write long file name which is Windows compatible (meaning can be read by Windows and the long - filename appears as the original name). Example (without quotes) + file name appears as the original name). Example (without quotes) "Ubuntu_0-94 - 64 bits Version.txt". - However, when the folder / file name is long and has symbol Example + However, when the folder / file name is long and has symbol. Example (without quotes) "Ubuntu_0-94 - 64 bits Version (April 2009).txt" Then when the Burn button is clicked, Brasero UNCHECK the "Increase compatibility with Windows System" box. If you continue to burn the CD/DVD then the file / folder is transformed into captialized name and truncaeted to 8.3 format. Example: UBUNT_01.TXT. However if the CD/DVD is read using Ubuntu then the file name appears as its original name. - This is not not a technical support question, neither nitpicking about a + This is not not a technical support question, neither nitpicking a philosophical debate about who is better between Linux & Windows.
