Nautilus CD Burning reports failed, but burning succeeds!

Please describe the problem: When right clicking an ISO file, and clicking "Burn to disc" in Nautilus, the process completes successfully, but the burning applet claims that the write failed. However, the discs function perfectly normally without any problems. Gnomebaker does not exhibit the same issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. Find an ISO file in nautilus. 2. Right click and click "Burn to disc" 3. Insert a disc to burn. 4. Allow nautilus to write the ISO. Actual results: A dialog ALWAYS pops up saying that the disc failed to be written. Expected results: A dialog should pop up with the correct status. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: CD/DVD burner: PHILIPS PBDV1640P Operating System: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) Computer: DELL Dimension 4600 (Manufactured: 01/2003)
There is a similar bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd-burner/+bug/86431 "Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner Nautilus CD Burner says there was an error writing to disc when I burn CD-Rs Steps to reproduce: 1. Open CD/DVD Creator 2. Copy some files into the window 3. Burn the files onto a CD-R nautilus-cd-burner will say there was an error writing to disc, and suggests using a lower speed. Burning DVDs doesn't give this error, only when attempting to burn onto CD-Rs. There seems to be other bug reports that mentioned testing with lower burn speeds without success, so I didn't try it out. I tried generating md5 checksums of the files i burned onto the "failed" CD-Rs and compared with the originals. They matched perfectly. This problem wasn't there in Dapper, but appeared in Edgy. ... http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8790677/nautilus-cd-burn.log nautilus-cd-burn.log (4.4 KiB, text/plain) same behaver here on feisty and debian/sid nautilus-cd-burner reports error: "There was an error writing to the disc:Error while writing to disc. Try a lower speed" , even tough the burn was successful. I did not try anything else apart of isos. Right click on *.iso and "Write to disk ..." by doing this every time I got this error."
The log have a "cdrecord stderr: Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) " which seems to trigger the message
That's a bug in wodim for wobbling. The burnt CD might be working, but if wodim's right, it's not recorded as intended though.
