Bug Description
Binary package hint: brasero
I recently updated Ubuntu and now when I try to burn CDs using Brasero the process gets stuck at the first stage, "Preparing to write." I left it there for a couple hours and it never moved on.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10
Brasero 2.28.2

I just had this very same thing happen to me. I'm not sure if you're having the same issue or not, but here's what happened in my case:
Earlier, I had ejected a CD via the eject button, not through the UI.
The CD remained mounted, and still showed up in the Nautilus sidebar.
I tried to burn an Ubuntu disc and got exactly the result you're describing here.
As soon as I unmounted the phantom CD, I was able to burn again.
Check and see if you still have a CD filesystem mounted, it'll show in the nautilus sidebar. If not, then you're having a different issue and we'll go from there.
