Comment 3 for bug 788300

I've been bitten by this problem too: I burned a data DVD with Brasero, only to find (a few weeks later) that I cannot read it.

Brasero's behaviour (exiting successfully while the DVD is utterly useless) is quite... unfortunate. I can't start to check up after all programs when they told me everything is fine whether that *really* is the case (!!).

As you can tell, I'm rather angry since it seems I'll be losing data that's important to me due to this bug.

I don't know much about the business of writing DVDs/CDs, so I would really appreciate any and all pointers on how I might go about salvaging some of the discs contents. Thanks!
