Misleading error message if trying to burn a DVD

[Chief Justice]

Binary package hint: serpentine

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert DVD in burner
2. Open Serpentine
3. Add some titles
4. Burn them
5. Acknowledge burning
6. Burning dialog opens, but a error dialog with "Can only use growisofs on a single track" as message pops up.

What I would expect would be that Serpentine simply burns the DVD.

On the other side I am actually not quite sure whether burning an "Audio-DVD" makes sense anyway. So either it should just start burning or tell me that it's generally a bad idea to burn a DVD.

My solution to the problem was to simply insert an CD (which originally was the intention).

This is not a big issue, rather some polishing. As it "wasted" 5 minutes of my life time, I thought other people might make the same misstake I just did :)

This happened on an i386 ubuntu feisty installation.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

[Chief Justice (z2anp6702)]

In 8.94 it is still reproducible. I can't say anything about 8.10, as I haven't upgraded yet and won't hvae time to do so in the near future.

Just found the time to do the upgrade to 8.10 and this symptom is still reproducible.
