[Bug 14692] Re: hal detects written DVD as empty

[Carlos Costa]

Hi,

I'm brazilian, so sorry for my bad english ; )

i'm using linux for a while and since the last month i'm running Ubuntu.
First was Dapper and then upgrade to Edgy Eft.

Everything was just fine until a couple of days ago. I tried to backup
my wedding dvd (sony dvd-r made in adobe encore with open session) and
the system tried to mount it without success and reconigzed it as a
blank disc. But the worst thing is that after that even windows and my
standalone player can read my dvd. It's damaged for good! I repeat: my
dvd-r became garbage after i tried to simply mount it under Ubuntu!!!

For my luck, there is a copy from my dvd i made with windows xp  before
this awful episode...thanks god!

I can tell if this bug is present in Dapper because i never had the
chance to backup an open session dvd-r with Ubuntu before the related
attempt here.

I'd never believe such thing is possible and i think most of you too.
To me this kind of bug should be labled as "critical".

Anyone had face something like what happened to me?

Cheers,
Carlos
