[Bug 53962] Re: Nautilus-cd-burner is unable to blank DVD-RW

[jim]

I have the dapper packages for nautilus-cd-burner and dvd+rw-tools
installed

GnomeBaker works now since 0.6.0 was added to dapper through backports.

Maybe it is just a matter of calling the wrong command in the
background.

--------------------------------------
$dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd
* DVD�RW/-RAM format utility by <appro at fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.10.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
- media is not blank
- you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
  -force[=full] to enforce new format or mode transition
                and wipe the data;
  -blank[=full] to change to Sequential mode.
----------------------------------
Maybe it didn't used to need an option but it needs it now.

When i use '-blank':
----------------------------------
$dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/dvd
* DVD�RW/-RAM format utility by <appro at fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.10.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
* blanking 95.2\
---------------------

My disk is empty now.
---------------------
$dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd
* DVD�RW/-RAM format utility by <appro at fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.10.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
- media is blank
- given the time to apply full blanking procedure I've chosen
  to insist on -force option upon mode transition.
---------------------

Could this be checked?
thanks
