Duration calculation was incorrect

[Amos Brocco]

As the decoding process is slow (see bug #49202 ), Serpentine should check
the blank cd available space/time before decoding files, and not at the end.

Also, if the media is too small (ex. 74min cd instead of 80min) the decoded files should not be immediately erased, but a "Retry" button should be offered (so that the user can change the media and retry without having to wait another time for the files to be decoded)

The use can change the CD meanwhile therefore there's no problem asking on the end.

The media is not supposed to be small, you can choose the media size before burning the CD.

When the CD is not what it needs a dialog pops asking the user to change it.

I used an 80MB (700MB) blank cd, added 18 songs to serpentine (which told me that there where 16 seconds left on the disk), decoded files and then told me that there wasn't sufficient space on the disk (the overburning dialog did not appear to ask me if I wanted to force burn)

[Amos Brocco (mriya3)]

err... I mean 80 minutes not 80MB in my previous post

Then there's a bug. Thanks alot for finding it!

I'll have to dig into nautilus-cd-burner's implementation.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Is that still an issue?

[Tiago Cogumbreiro (cogumbreiro)]

Yes, the issue still needs investigation. But, since I'm hacking on Serpentine again, I'll probably understand the state of the situation in a near future.

Amos: Did you "Add two seconds gap between tracks" checked in preferences?

[Amos Brocco (mriya3)]

Now I'm on Feisty, and haven't yet tried to create a new cd, but I've noticed that checking/unchecking the "two seconds gap" in the preferences does
not decrease/increase the remaining time in the main window. Is this right?

[Dean Sas (dsas)]

It's what I expected but the fact it doesn't update is a known bug.

If previously you had 16 seconds spare and 18 tracks, with a 2 second gap enabled then it would require 34 seconds spare on the cd not 16.
