GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333108
Gnome hangs DVD reading DVD+RW disc
Last modified: 2006-09-20 21:36:47 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert recorded DVD+RW disc (burned in Windows Sonic RecordNow) 2. You'll see DVD-RW icon on desktop 3. Try to open embedded folders on it. DVD hangs. Stack trace: Gnome doesn't understand recorded DVD+RW discs. It sees it as DVD-RW on desktop. I know the problem is in format of DVD, written in Windows program. I burned in Windows DVD+RW discs with AVI files. I used Sonic RecordNow with default settings. Type: Track at Once (TAO), Open Mode: Mode1 Filesystem: ISO+Joliet (106 characters) Write Once DVD Compatibility: I would like to use discs for more than 1 recording (.. but fewer DVD drives will be able to read the disc) Also I tryed to burn AVIs in GnomeBaker. The proccess of burning was without errors. AVI files on DVD+RW were read OK! I saw settings Joliet, Rock Ridge. I have drive SONY DVD RW DW-D56A. I haven't tryed DVD-RWs yet, but CDs and DVD+Rs are OK. Also I tryed DVD+RW burned in DVD-Video format written in other Windows program. It's OK too. Description of problem: Every time I open disc with AVIs written in RecordNow, in Ubuntu I get icon of DVD-RW appeared on Gnome desktop. After opening icon in Nautilus I see it tryes to read the disc. I see preview of some AVI files, but not all. It seems to me Nautilus try to read contents of all disc but without success. If I open AVI file on disc, Totem shows movie only 2 minutes and then jumps to beginning of film. After some time Nautilus hangs DVD and I can't forcefully unmount it. I get unmount error. I saw the settings. DMA is on, all codecs installed. Other information: Ubuntu 5.10. Notebook Sony VAIO VGN-FS115MR Also see https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/29720
This looks more like a Nautilus bug to me -> moving.
apparently a linux or hardware issue, marking as NOTGNOME
