Description igor 2006-03-02 10:45:32 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.

This looks more like a Nautilus bug to me -> moving.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-09-20 21:36:47 UTC
apparently a linux or hardware issue, marking as NOTGNOME
