Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-08-25 16:39:23 UTC 
[ From http://bugs.debian.org/439296 by Brent S. Elmer, Ph.D.]

"Brasero should handle a fresh dvd+rw when burning.  When you click on burn, brasero says there are 0 bytes empty on a brand new dvd+rw disk. It should format the disk and then burn.  If I manually format the dvd using dvd+rw-format, then brasero will say the disk size is not 0."

What is the status of this BUG?  The last post says to see 493776 which isn't really related.  Brasero should be able to burn a brand new empty DVD+RW.

Sorry for taking so long to answer. I just fixed that problem.
The problem here is that Wodim is not able to handle maiden DVD+RWs whereas the manual states it should so I guess that's a bug mainly in wodim.
Anyway I made a workaround for this but I'll make sure libburn, growisofs, cdrecord are used before we tried wodim now.
The problem now is that if wodim is used to record DVD+RW it'll take ages to format and I can't do anything about this.
