Yeah, I had the same problem using F12 and the same procedures that I
have used in other releases using both brasero and the fileroller
doodad. I gave up and just burned it from a Windows box. Maybe its
fixed now with the hundreds of patches being fired out.
I think its all part of the insufficient testing problem that has dogged
F12 ever since it was released without being stabilized. Hopefully the
revised F13 qa automation and fixing of blocker anaconda bugs so that
testers can actually install the beta can resolve some of this...
I rather think it's more Brasero and fileroller that have the issue.
I had no problem when I burned those images using growisofs from the
command line, but I've had issues in the past with many of the GUI-
based burners misinterpreting return codes and such from the burner
drives.
For reference, here's a simple shell script. Keep it in /usr/local/bin
so it's always available:
[root@prophead ~]# cat /usr/local/bin/burndvd
#!/bin/bash
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=$1
Just "burndvd /path/to/iso/image". Works pretty damned reliably.
