(Get the code!)
Two laptops running natty.
on the first I burned a small data disc containing a few low resolution jpegs. I used the cd/dvd creator folder and everything was fine.
the media was a 52x, 700mb skc cdr.
On the second laptop I attempted to burn 3 cctv videos,each onto its own disc- the same media. each disc would have contained one file. The smallest file was over 500mb. All three discs appeared to burn sucessfully but were unreadable like the prior authors' DVDs.
Using tools like strings and dd to read /dev/sr0 shows that the cd does indeed start burning correctly but that the burn suddenly ends on about the 330th mb and brasero doesn't seem to care.
Summary:
- burning cuts short
- no error message
- might just be big discs or discs with big files (or mayyybe depend on the burner... i'm out of discs for now)
- CDs are affected, not just DVDs
Thanks everyone involved :-)
