[Bug 661264] Re: progress bar does not calculate remaining time/percentage accurately

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: brasero
  
  Brasero does not calculate remaining time or percentage properly, which
  is reflected in the progress bar.
  
  Two situations to fix which may make the estimation more specific:
  
  1 - Slow start to burn. The slow start to the disc spinning gives an
  inaccurate estimation. For example: 438 minutes remaining, when the disc
  actually took under 15 minutes to burn. The slow start issue seems to
  mean that the time shown to the user is not an average but a real-time
  number. There must be some ways to correct this to that the user knows
  how long they will be waiting before the disc is done.
  
  2 - Post-burn operations are not included in the % remaining estimation.
  After the burn is complete (or so assumes since it says 100%) it still
  needs 1:30 seconds for post-burn operations (Creating image checksum).
- The progress dialog is inaccurate saying it is 100% done while it still
- has a long ways to go. This should be corrected so that these tasks are
- calculated into the remaining time and percentage.
+ These operations count down by the second, but seem to cound a second in
+ 1/3 of a second, meaning it is running 3 times to fast. The progress
+ dialog is inaccurate saying it is 100% done while it still has a long
+ ways to go. This should be corrected so that these tasks are calculated
+ into the remaining time and percentage.
