No music file export with target storage size

[TM8471]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I stored my music in high definition (flac-format). Now, it is possible in rhythmbox to export selected songs (e.g. as defined by a playlist) and burn them as standard audio-CD. Sometimes my selected song files need more storage than 700 MB and therefore exceed CD storage size.

Rhythmbox should be able to offer in this situation these four options (dialog with example data) :

"
You've selected audio files with 2.4 GB storage size for export to one audio-CD.
These sound files exceed CD storage size limit (maximum 700 MB per CD).

1) Shall I shrink your selected audio files down to 700 MB?
In this case your audio files need to be converted to ogg-format (lossy format) so that all audio files fit perfect on one audio-CD. Song quality will be average (approximately at 128 Kbit/s at variable bit rate)!
2) Shall I burn your selected audio files on several audio-CDs (will use four CDs)?
3) Shall I burn your selected audio files on one audio-DVD (will use one DVD)?
4) Abort sound file export.

For option 1) press (1)
For option 2) press (2)
For option 3) press (3)
For option 4) press (4) "

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

isn't that dialog coming from brasero? could you take an screenshot to what you're seeing there? thanks.

@ Pedro Villaviecenio:

Brasero only offers:
1) Burning an Audio-CD (not Audio-DVD)
2) Burning a Data-DVD (not Audio-DVD)

Audio-DVD is a special format and therefore is not the same as data DVD (have a look at Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DVD-Audio&oldid=333232291). Audio DVD is neither supported in Brasero nor in Nautilus nor in any other Ubuntu application.

There are some software solutions that do something different, but that is not Audio DVD:
One application is able to burn a video-DVD. In this DVD the video stream is only a blue screen. The audio stream contains the music (I suppose as MP3-stream). This application is called "Audio DVD creator" (link: http://www.audio-dvd-creator.com/guide.htm) but - despite its name - it does not create DVDs in the audio DVD standard. It creates only a special Video DVD (with a blank video stream).

@ Sebastien Bacher:

How do I upstream this bug to Gnome?
