Bug Description
I tried to burn a video DVD with Brasero. I lined up some mpg videos to add, put a blank DVD in the drive, and clicked "Burn". Then I got an error message saying:
"Installing packages by files isn't supported
"This method hasn't yet been implemented."
Please note that this bug report isn't about my inability to burn DVDs. It's about the error message being surprisingly unhelpful, and apparently unrelated to what I was trying to do at the time.
