Comment 6 for bug 15424

As my bugreport apparently was a duplicate of this one I will add what I wrote there. (40756)

Since a few weeks I can't burn dvd's. (It worked fine before in both Breezy and Dapper)

The same disc and iso burns fine on my other dapper comp with a NEC DVD burner (ND-4570A).

I've tried k3b (my main burning program) & nautilus integrated burning.

The Sony burner is working fine in windows.
