Description Valentijn Sessink 2006-06-25 12:48:03 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I can't seem to burn CD's with the latest Nautilus-cd-burner, it halts with "Error writing to disc". This seems due to the forced "DAO" (disc at once) burning that was introduced in 2.13.1

launching command: cdrecord fs=16m dev=/dev/hdd -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /tmp/image.iso.Q52ccW
[....]
cdrecord stderr: cdrecord: Drive does not support SAO recording.

And in fact, cdrecord -checkdrive shows: Supported modes: TAO PACKET RAW/R16

(please note, "dao" is an alias for "sao" with cdrecord).

Source code 

Steps to reproduce:
Using nautilus-cd-burner on a non-DAO-supporting CD-writer.

Actual results:
nautilus-cd-burner bails out with an error, it cannot write disks.

Expected results:
write.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
From nautilus-burn-recorder.c:
		if (flags & NAUTILUS_BURN_RECORDER_WRITE_DISC_AT_ONCE) {
			g_ptr_array_add (argv, "-dao");
... and from nautilus-cd-burner.c:
                if (1) {
                        record_flags |= NAUTILUS_BURN_RECORDER_WRITE_DISC_AT_ONCE;

... which basically means nautilus-cd-burner will use dao on *all* disks -

Thank you for the bug report, Valentijn.

We need HAL's collaboration here, I filed a bug:

nautilus-cd-burner has been replaced by Brasero in the GNOME 2.26 release. If your bug still applies to Brasero, please feel free to re-open the bug, and reassign it to brasero itself.
