Wow, quick feedback, much appreciated.

I installed Brasero from Ayan's PPA on my Precise. I disabled the image
checksum plugin and created a data DVD. Direct burn was disabled so I
checked it (this is what we are trying to fix right?).

Burn was "successful" as per Brasero (and no log created) but alas the
DVD is not recognized when I put it in (and it was my last blank so no
more testing for now...). I validated that my DVD bruner was reading
other DVDs ok.

Anything else I can do (aside telling my buddy to get a flash drive,
which would be a good idea anyway ;) )?

@Martin: Yes, I understand burning DVDs is not something widely used.
Heck I even chose to not have a DVD reader in my  latest laptop. But if
a feature is availalbe (installed by default) users will expect it to
work. In the current situation it would be better to hide the
functionnality altogether (at least direct burn). I know this is not
easy and it may be simpler to just put the fix in ;)
