brasero 2.26.1 does not burn avi

[sprilutsky]

Binary package hint: brasero

After I selected Video Project and avi files, I clicked "Burn".

Small pop window comes up - Disk Burning Setup:
 - In "Select a disc to write to" there are only 2 lines:
           a. Image file
           b. Blank DVD+R Disc: 7 h 24 of free space
   Then down low it says: "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD. It is not possible to write with the current set of plugins

- Two buttons are grey'ed out: "Properties" and "Burn"
- Video options are also grey'ed out

Please help.
     Thank you

Thanks for your report, could you run brasero from the command line as: brasero --brasero-media-debug --debug &> brasero-debug.txt perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach the resulting file to the report?. Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response.

Here we go, just ran \that command and attaching the file

Pedro,

Even though it is still a bug ( at least that is what I think), I found a workaround:

1. Open up a Brasero window/session, but leave it alone for a sec.
2. Open up a File Browser as a second Window/session
3. Drag and drop .avi file(s) from File Browser window into the Brasero Window
4. Click on "Burn" - you should not only see the correct DVD media, but also be able to burn avi format.

Thanks for your help and support.

If that works for you as well, perhaps we want to pass it on to other people around

works fine with karmic for me, no issue trying to reproduce this, do you still get the bug with karmic there? thanks.

Looks like a growisofs bug, since K3b also has a bug report about this.
