could you get us a brasero log ? please run brasero as: brasero --debug &> brasero-debug.txt and attach that file to the report, thanks in advance.

Attached is the debug file.

These people might also be good resources in troubleshooting this problem.

FWIW, I have the exact same bug.

I run Xubuntu 8.10 and version 0.8.2 of Brasero, which supposedly (according to another thread) have solved this bug.

The same for me.. trying to burn a video DVD..
ubuntu 8.10
brasero 0.8.2
Thanks for your work!

Brasero needs to be built with libburn support, meaning it needs to be moved to main.

I tried to reproduce this issue in Ubuntu Lucid and works fine for me. Any way, since this version of Ubuntu has reached to his EOL I will close this report for now, but if you encounter that this issue reappears please fill a new report. Thanks
