Description Gregory Shklover 2012-01-02 17:26:28 UTC
Since moving to new brasero (part of Gnome 3), burning dual-layer DVD+R stopped working. Both inside nautilus burn:/// and inside "brasero" application, the "Burn" button either appears to be disabled or "Please insert a disc that is supported ..." message displayed.

Looking at the log file of previous version (2.32) vs new version it appears that the media is recognized as "DVD DL + W" but "libburn" plugin doesn't announce support for this type of media whereas "growisofs" plugin does (not available in new version if "libburn" USE flag is on).



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place DVD+R DL media into the drive
2. Open brasero and add some files to a "DVD Data" project

Actual Results:  
"Burn" button appears disabled.

Expected Results:  
"Burn" button would appear enabled if "libburn" plugin would expose DL DVD burning capabilities in plugins/libburnia/burn-libburn.c

Comment 4 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2012-01-24 07:05:32 UTC
I get something similar with a regular DVD+R (single layer for 4.4GB of data), which is identified as "Disc DVD + W blank". So I'd put the blame on libburn here or at least libburn related, as it works for me after re-emerging brasero with USE=-libburn to get it to use cdrtools and co instead of libburnia stack.
CCing libburn maintainers for a reality check and advice or fixing help.

Meanwhile, Gregory - please also test with USE=-libburn

I did talk to the upstream author of the libburnia libraries and he does not think this is an issue with libburn. He says libburn supports DVD+R DL since version 0.4.4 from April 2008. I also do not have problems with burning DVD+R.

Can someone test with braseros growisofs plugin and provide the log file, xfburn which uses libburn or xorriso from libisoburn. For xorriso the command for burning a directory structure to disk would look like this:
xorriso -outdev /dev/$your_device_here -blank as_needed -add $your_directory_here
Comment 6 Gregory Shklover 2012-01-28 14:58:32 UTC
I believe the issue is with caps initialization in brasero's libburn plugin. Looking at the code and the corresponding log messages, the libburn plugin in brasero doesn't appear to advertise dual layer support for DVD+R (it does so for DVD+RW though).

As an experiment I tried adding DUAL_L flag to corresponding output caps, but this didn't get me too far - there were still disconnections between the type of the input data (reported as "Data ISO UDF Level 3 Joliet") and the output media caps. Although now DVD+R DL was reported as supported in the logs.

I also tried copy-paste Joliet input caps definitions from growisofs plugin to libburn plugin. Now brasero didn't report the media as not supported but still the burn process didn't go through and the plugin eventually reported unsupported operation into a log file.

Regards,
Gregory.
Comment 7 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2012-04-08 10:26:54 UTC
Removing me from maintainers as this is not a problem with libburn. If anybody needs help fixing brasero please contact libburn upstream directly.
Comment 8 Mehmet Giritli 2012-07-01 13:53:36 UTC
Is there an upstream bug for this? I'm suffering with the same symptoms as mentioned in this bug and have to reboot into windows everytime I have to burn DL media.
Comment 9 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-07-27 10:53:28 UTC
Please check again with 3.8 and updated libburn version
