Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner
I upgraded from Dapper Drake to Edgy Eft using the gksu "update-manager -c" method. My optical drive is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B that worked perfectly before the upgrade.
Steps to repeat error:
1. Open home directory, show hidden files with ctrl-H.
2. Insert blank DVD-R in drive. In the "Choose Disc Type" dialog, click "Make DVD".
3. Drag all files from home directory to CD/DVD creator.
4. Click "Write to Disc"
Expected behaviour:
"Write to disc" dialog appears with all controls disabled and "Calculating..." listed by "Data size". Trying to close the window causes the "not responding" dialog to appear.
I've tried "dmesg | tail" at the console, but the last relevant message is:
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

I can confirm this bug on a fresh install of Edgy.
It does not occur when only a few files or folders are copied to burn:///, but does when I try coping most of my home folder. When hidden folders were not selected, the hanging stops when I removed a folder containing source code and a couple of Subversion trees from the CD/DVD Creator.
