Insert DVD.

Choose Copy 1:1.

Choose either "copy to disk inserted later in same drive" or "iso file". (Approximative translations...)

Copy option remains greyed out.

Message : "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD."
("Veuillez remplacer le disque par un CD ou un DVD pris en charge.")


However, a simple copy does work (.iso mountable and burnable with brasero)

 cp /dev/dvd /my_path/image.iso

(as suggested here :

Attaching log.

FWIW :

Same issue with the copy of the DVD (.iso obtained with cp command, then burnt).

No issue with a commercial audio CD.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using version 2.30 that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
Comment 3 Jérôme 2011-11-07 14:39:05 UTC
Hi.

Thanks for your answer.

I'm running debian testing. Not such an old platform...

There seems to be issues that prevent brasero 3 from entering testing, most of them linked with nautilus : http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/brasero.html

Guess I'll have to wait a while. It's a pity since I don't even use nautilus.

I am surprised that a software version still in testing is considered obsolete, and that all efforts go to a version that depends on recent libraries (and on nautilus itself). Apparently, this is rather gnome policy than brasero's.

Anyway, using the cp workaround seems less trouble than pinning to get the unstable version (and the nautilus stuff that would come with it). I guess I'll stick to that in the meantime.

> I am surprised that a software version still in testing is considered obsolete

Don't mix up upstream and downstream in the argumentation. :)

It's OBSOLETE only in GNOME upstream - latest stable is GNOME 3.2, previous stable is 3.0. No manpower for previous versions such as 2.32 or 2.30.

Which packages to ship and policies are entirely up to the distributions (like Debian), and if Debian decides to ship older versions than their bugtracker is probably the best place to file bug reports.
Comment 5 Jérôme 2011-11-07 15:30:09 UTC
I get the idea, though I guess Debian has its reasons.

Sorry for hijacking the bugtracker for these questions/argumentations and thanks for your clarifications.
Comment 6 Jérôme 2011-11-08 13:47:53 UTC
Hi.

Updated today to brasero 3.0.0. Same issue.

It seems to depend on the DVD I am trying to copy. (libdvdcss issue ? I'm using libdvdcss2 from debian multimedia repo).

Not reopening. Feel free to ignore if it sounds like distribution / local config issue.
Comment 7 Jérôme 2011-12-05 09:01:54 UTC
Reopening : same issue with 3.2.0.

I can provide more details if requested.
Comment 8 soloturn 2017-01-22 08:47:07 UTC
this is still the case?

$ blocks=$(isosize -d 2048 /dev/sr0)
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 of=isoimage.iso bs=2048 count=$blocks status=progress

as documented here is the only thing working fine. as documented here:
