GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 549315
Brasero can't copy DVD, only burns 23 MB
Last modified: 2018-09-21 16:29:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: This bug happens for me with the Ubuntu version of the package and was first reported at Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/224840 For me, brasero consistently fails to copy DVDs. I create these with a VHS/DVD recorder appliance, and so far the worked everywhere. The target media is single-layer scratch-proof DVD-R by TDK, which I then try to copy to DVD+R, using brasero. These DVDs play fine in my laptop. They usually contain around 4 gigs. Brasero gives the wrong source DVD size after I click the "Copy CD/DVD" button on the startup window. The "CD/DVD copy options" dialog comes up and tells me that the source DVD has 24 MB of data. I could upload an *.iso of such a DVD somewhere. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

I can read in your log that there is a problem indeed with track info retrieval. I'll fix that for 0.8.2.
After all, I don't think the idea I first had on reading your log will fix the problem. What is the nature of your source disc? Brasero returns a DVD-ROM but there is something fishy in the log. Since it tells it has 2 tracks but it only reads the first not the second as if it were a leadout. I'd like you to do something for me please: - run "brasero -g > log 2>&1" with your source disc inserted in your DVD burner not in the DVD reader to see if it changes anything - also try to use SVN, I added additional debug strings that may help me. And yes, if it's not too much trouble perhaps an iso could help. Thanks.
Btw, after having a closer look at your screenshot, it doesn't look like it is 0.8.1 you have, or even 0.8.0 for that matter.
I'll get to the other stuff on the weekend, I just wanted to reply to comment #5: That's because I took the screenshot from the Launchpad bug, which already was a bit older. I have since upgraded to Ubuntu Intrepid (alpha), where the bug still persists. apt-cache policy brasero brasero: Installed: 0.8.1-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 0.8.1-0ubuntu2

Thanks, now I really need the file log created with "brasero -g > log 2>&1" please.
Mario, could you please get us the information Philippe requested in comment #8 and reopen this bug then? Thanks in advance!
Created attachment 150365 [details] Requested Logfile Since i am experiencing the same problem i'll add my logfile instead. I wanted to copy a dvd (DVD-R) with around 1GB of Data on it (according to nautilus). However if i want to create an iso from it, it says in the dialog the disc contains only 24 MB of data. Ubuntu 9.10 / Brasero 2.28.2
Created attachment 150366 [details] Screenshot Brasero/Nautilus Just to clarify my problem... I can add the (24 MB).iso file too if this is helpful.
Hi all, I'm facing the same problem here...brasero sees only 5MB content, while my DVD-R contains 1GB according to nautilus. As already said creating an iso results in a 5MB file containing 1GB of data :-| Fedora 12 fully updated (brasero 2.28.2). I'd be happy doing something to help you solving this. thanks Andrea
