[Bug 221460] [NEW] Volume ID string too long for /usr/bin/genisoimage

[kbit]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

Using an updated hardy (upgraded from gutsy), I wanted to burn a CD of lots of photos and some videos, organized in many subfolders for a friend of mine.
I tried burning the CD, but it wouldn't work, with brasero giving me an error when it was about to write the data to the disk.
Brasero said, I should check the CD/DVD.

When I tried the other CD/DVD-writer (external, via USB), it wouldn't work either.
Neither did changing the target CD solve the problem.
When even burning to an image file (iso) threw the same error, I decided to have a look into the logs presented with the error.

There, I found the following:
"BraseroGenisoimage stderr: /usr/bin/genisoimage: Volume ID string too long"
... and followed by more "stderr: [...]". 

The original Volume ID I had entered was "Bilder 4/2008 von Klaus für Ines", which is, afaik, the maximum length as restrained by brasero.
After changing the Volume ID to "4/2008 von Klaus für Ines", I could "burn" an iso file as expected, and I could also after that burn the iso file to the CD.

The md5 check failed:
"BraseroMd5sum setting new checksum (type = 1) f0158a3b01cfa10cb1d56f6a3aa986e3 (c7b2850f2cc2bfa1501a41af19d8a49a before)",
But none of the ~570 photos are broken.  There are some short AVIs on the CD that I didn't check, but I think it would be quite a coincidence if a single occuring error was in those avi files, (being maybe ~5% of the disk). So I'm not sure if I can trust brasero here.
