Brasero shows wrong progress-information when burning more than 2GiB

[fx5]

Binary package hint: brasero

When burning dvds > 2GiB with brasero (2.26.0-0ubuntu2), progress information works normal until it reaches 2GiB. Then it jumps back to 0GiB and stays there for a while.

After a while (probably at 3GiB?) it starts working again, but shows less than 1GiB.

Thanks for your report, could you run brasero from the command line as: brasero --debug &> brasero-debug.txt perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach the resulting file to the report?. May you also take an screenshot of the issue? are you using growisofs?

Here you are. Notice that writing speed is also not reported correctly.

same here! the first time this happened, I thought it had "freezed/crashed", so I canceled the burning and lost a DVD :(
but after, I tried again (with a little more patience) and the burning process concluded successfully, even with the progress bar stuck in 0%: this could be very confusing to newbies!

I'm having the same problem and have no idea how to fix it. Sometimes it doesn't even display the writing speed, everything goes blank.

Thanks all, setting this to confirmed by the quantity of confirmations from subscribed users, as said i cannot reproduce this and it would be better if it gets send directly upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org by someone able to reproduce it, for forwarding instructions please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME, Thanks in advance.

any news about this? did you sent it upstream? may you tell us the bug number there?

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582261 seems to track this bug in gnome.

It seem to hit the integer limit (about 2 gig) and the progress bar will start again from zero if your burn is over twice this limit (about 4.2 gig).

Same problem here, I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 with Brasero 2.26.1. The exactly same problem persists.. when are they planning to solve this, any ideas?
