Steps to reproduce:

2.Select create new disk (default app brasero)
3.Create new project
4.Press burn button to burn.
5.Brasero say "the medium is not writable with the current set of plugins"

My boss say that i'm looser :(

Comment 1 Marek 2008-02-10 17:01:22 UTC 
I can confirm that too. On Fedora 8 I do have similar problem - I can burn DL DVDs using nautilus, but I cannot do that using Brasero, Brasero claims “the medium is not writable with the current set of plugins”.
Comment 2 Dan Wilcox 2008-03-21 20:47:22 UTC 
I can confirm this for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy.  I can load files to burn a DL disc, but  it cannot be burned because “the medium is not writable with the current set of plugins”.
Comment 3 Philippe Rouquier 2008-04-22 14:51:35 UTC 
Yes, late changes broke that support (if it ever was supported). I'll fix this for next release.

Comment 5 Darren 2008-04-29 13:05:59 UTC 
I can confirm this for Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04). DL support is totally hosed!

Any idea when an update will be out??
Comment 6 Frank Griffin 2008-04-29 16:20:22 UTC 
Confirmed on Mandriva 2008.1 and Cooker as well....
Comment 7 Philippe Rouquier 2008-05-10 16:04:57 UTC 
Done in trunk (That'll be for 0.8.x). I managed to burn an image to a DVD+R DL. Now I'd like people to test the DVD+RW DL and DVD-R DL since my drive doesn't support that types of media.
Any problem should be reported in this thread please.
Thanks in advance.
Comment 8 Darren 2008-05-13 14:17:55 UTC 
I downloaded the brasero from SVN, how do I install it??? non of the scripts work???

Me too, working fine.

Do these exist ?  I thought the only DLs were +R....
Comment 10 Philippe Rouquier 2008-05-18 18:50:23 UTC 
I've never been able to find them in stores but they apparently exist - at least on paper - since they are mentionned in the MMC-5 specifications even though if their counterpart, DVD-RW DL, aren't.
Comment 11 Philippe Rouquier 2008-06-10 09:43:10 UTC 
OK, thanks for the report. I'm closing the bug, feel free to reopen one if you run into a bug.
