Brasero fails to burn DVD with error in BraseroGrowisofs

[Frederik Elwert]

When trying to burn a DVD (dual layer in this case, but I don’t know if this makes a difference), brasero fails to burn the image. Attached, you find a session log from Brasero.

What seems especially striking is that brasero constructs this command line:

growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=4gms -dvd-compat -speed=6 -use-the-force-luke=tracksize:3575604 -use-the-force-luke=tty -Z /dev/sr0=/tmp/brasero_tmp_NX2N9V.bin

This also fails when using it directly. But when I construct a minimalist version of it, it works:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=/tmp/brasero_tmp_NX2N9V.bin

I don’t know if there are cases in which these extra options are necessary. But for me, they prevented growisofs from burning the disc correctly, although it obviously is able to burn it when omitting these options.
