Xubuntu 11.10
I suspect there might be an issue when burning multiple projects one after the other.
I can burn the first project fine.
Then I have to reboot the pc to free up the dvd writer.
Logging out then back in does not seem to release the device.
It says something like unable to find device (actual error wording is in the other xfburn bug report that I posted today)

This may be related. On burning a second disc, I encountered a situation where XFBurn would be determining the disc speed. I could hear the DVD-RW drive hunting back and forth for several minutes like it could never find the start of the disc. I clicked the Stop button which quite often doesn't stop. Presumably XFBurn is waiting on disc drive status before doing anything including aborting.
I also had Thunar open at the same time. Closing Thunar ended the hunting and Thunar proceeded to the abort. Unfortunately, XFBurn apparently wrote to the disc and ruined it. Now there is a small percentage of a chance, the disc media had a flaw that made Thunar think it was a valid burned disc and was auto mounted. Causing Thunar and XFBurn to fight over who had control.
On other occasions, I have had Thunar and/or XFBurn crash at the end of the burn. Or XFBurn reporting that there was an error in burning the disc. When in fact the disc reads completely fine. Thus, a false error. Which I suspect results from Thunar or the auto mounting process stealing control of the drive away from XFBurn. After the burn, the disc is valid media and is attempted to be auto mounted. Seems to be a glitch between XFBurn switching between writing and reading modes. A matter of timing.
Also might be related: First off, XFBurn does not detect a blank disc in a second disc drive. It apparently only checks the first drive. When selecting the second drive from the drop down list, it reverts to the first drive model. However, clicking the rescan button does detect the disc in the second drive.
In some cases, these conditions require a reboot to clean the problems. Seems also to be dependent on models of drives. Some drives seem to work better than others. Either the drives aren't complying to standards, or software is using or relying on features and uniqueness to work.
