[Bug 378481] Re: Cannot Burn DVDs on External Burner

[Lawrence H. Bulk]

I just tried using an HP dvd640 external USB CD/DVD burner. I had the
exact same results as with the CompUSA burner described above.

Using either of these burners:

(1) I can play and/or copy a CD

(2) I can burn to a blank CD

(3) I can play and/or copy a DVD

(4) But I CANNOT burn to a blank DVD. I MUST use the computer's internal
CD/DVD drive to burn to a blank DVD.

Before Ubuntu 9.04 'Jaunty Jackalope' I had no problem doing ALL four of
the processes; now, using 'Jaunty,' I can do only the first three of
them with my external USB CD/DVD burner.

I prefer using K3b to burn discs but the DVD burning problem occurs with
Brasero as well.

It is obvious to me that the external USB CD/DVD burner is not the
problem; the problem lies in 'Jaunty.'

I'd certainly like to know what the problem is and if there is some way
that it can be fixed.

Can ANYONE help?

Lawrence
