GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 343258
nautilus-cd-burner creates coasters (large files, lack of sizing)

I (ignorantly) tried to turn 20G of data into a bunch of DVDs and ran into two related (if not identical) issues: . ISO-9660 is apparently limited to files 2G in size, but if you stick a file larger than 2G into the burn folder and do 'Write to Disc', the disc gets burnt without that file on it, and absolutely no warnings are printed at any point. Nautilus should give you a warning if you place a file > 2G into the burn folder, and you should also get a failure message from the 'write-to-disc' series of dialogs. . At some point in the process, there should be a way of checking the image space against the available space, instead of prompting me to insert media that can hold 20G. This is not the easiest thing to do because you don't always know ahead of time what medium will be used, but based on the medium in the drive and the drive capabilities, it sounds reasonable to check that things will fit BEFORE ruining a perfectly good blank :)
