On a Maverick amd64 system with brasero 2.32.0-0ubuntu2.2, I have recently experienced the following error while burning single-layer DVD+R's:
Error while burning.

This is probably the same bug as bug 700975. The error message is the same.

Furthermore, that bug report suggests (though not conclusively) that bug 700975 occurred specifically when burning an image across a Samba share, which does not pertain here.

This is the log file from the first failed attempt (as detailed in the description above, the log file attached there is the log file from the second failed attempt). These files are very similar...perhaps it is redundant to attach this too.
