Subject: gvfs: disc burning via nautilus gives incorrect figure for DVD+R capacity

Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:34:49 +0000

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: normal

Please accept my apologies If I'm filing this in the wrong
place. I truly have no idea which precise bit of software
is responsible for the UI when I try to burn an ISO from
nautilus now, but "gvfsd-burn" is running during the burn,
nautilus-cd-burner seems to have died and brasero isn't
running...

The pop-up I get when I right-click on an ISO to burn gives
me an indication of the disc in my DVD writer drive. It
claims a given disc capacity (e.g. 4GB free) which is
totally false:  I frequently write images which are larger
than this claimed available size without any problems.

This is the brasero nautilus extension, running inside the nautilus
process.

What do you mean? It refuses to burn image sizes between 4 GiB and 4.3
GiB?

What is the capacity that appears in brasero if you insert a blank disc?
Does it make any difference between DVD+R and DVD-R?

Cheers,
