[Bug 49311] unable to burn dvd

[bradley]

Public bug reported:

i have tried to burn a data dvd (.avi files) using both graveman and by
just inserting a dvd and using the 'CD/DVD creator'.

in graveman it goes through the process of burning the dvd (it took a
couple of hours which seemed a bit long). then at the end of the process
it says that the dvd has been created sucessfully (or whatever the
positive message is) but when i tried to read the dvd it was unreadable
(my partner has a Mac with OSX which could not read it either).

so then i decided to try dapper's creator but it won't begin the process. it says i should insert a valid disc (i'm using DVD-r, but on the list is only DVD-rw) 
but i know my burner is capable of DVD-r's because i have used them before.

i am using dapper drake, and have the (most-all) restricted formats
installed and turned the DMA on so that DVD playback wouldn't be choppy.
that is all i can think of that would could have affected the drive.

cheers,
bradley.
