           Summary: burnproof should be enabled by default
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus-cd-burner

On some CD burners, the CD-burning process finishes improperly if burnproof is
not enabled, rendering the disc mostly useless. I found this out the hard way,
after having wasted 6 CDs experimenting where's the issue.

This is what happens:
The burning starts, continues for a while and then suddenly you see n-c-b's
status bar jump to the "Fixating" stage, even though the data has not been
burned completely. It happens at various random times, like after 20%, 30%, 50%
or 80% of the data has been written. The resulting CD is readable, but with only
partial data, it is useless if it is a single file.

Resolution:
Have burnproof enabled by default ( /apps/nautilus-cd-burner/burnproof in gconf
). With this set, all CDs burn fine.

Note: This is not limited to n-c-b only, I had tried with graveman, coaster,
gnomebaker too and without burnproof they also produce coasters.
