[Bug 49550] Re: Cannot burn CDs ord DVDs using Nautilus, but works with Gnomebaker

[Carsten Schmidt]

I've set the debug variable in the key nautilus-burner via gconf-editor and had a look at ~./xsession-errors
nautilus-burner creates first an iso with mkisofs -> works ok
then it erases the cd content (if cd-rw): cdrecord blank=fast -> works ok
and then it uses the following command to write the iso image to the burner:
cdrecord fs=16m dev=/dev/hdc -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad imagename.iso -> cancels with an error message that this writing mode isn't supported on my specific drive
In breezy nautilus-burner executes the same command without -dao -> works
If I type the same command in a terminal I'll get the same result, without -dao the image gets burned (this is under dapper); cdrecord then says no writing mode specified, assuming tao mode. Your link to bugzilla.gnome.org describes exactly the same problem. This is a problem that will concern mainly "old" burners, which don't support DAO mode. Mine is from 1999; a 4x4x24x Philips CDD-4201.
