This DVD burning issue should perhaps have higher importance status? Since upgrading to Hardy I encountered way more issues with burned DVDs but most of them still seemed to work at least with some DVD drive. In Windows XP, all of the DVDs burned with Hardy are totally unregognizable while all those burned with Gutsy work fine. If other users also have DVDs, which seem to work in Linux or in some old DVD player, they might not notice that the burns are still not valid.

This looks like a kernel or driver bug (I'm using x86_64 kernel with Athlon 64 CPU. It is not related to certain drive or media type. I'm using two very different decent quality burners and I've tried with both high quality DVD+R and DVD-R media and all combinations of those have quite identical issues (read error in the very same sector). I tested DVD recognition also with two very different Windows computers.

Burning with 2x speed is not a solution. It isn't even acceptable workaround for me as I'm used to burning with at least 16x speed. Please investigate if the issue concerns more HW than you assumed and consider raising the importance status of this bug.

Thanks
