Title:
  Several minor Copy DVD bugs add up to a lot of annoyance

Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  To reproduce,  open computer:/// window and you should see your DVD
  drive there.  Right click on the empty drive and you'll see some
  context menu options.  Now insert a DVD and wait till the name under
  the icon changes.  Right click and note that the context menu is the
  same.  Hit refresh on the window and then right click again.  You'll
  note that "Copy DVD ..." has now appeared.  You have to manually
  refresh to get that menu item to happen.

  Choose "Copy Disc".  It doesn't remember your last selection for
  destination.  As an example I don't remember the last time I chose
  "New disc in the burner holding the source disc" but that is always
  the default.  Choose "Image File".

  Image File always defaults to "$HOME/brasero.iso".  This is a silly
  default.  At the very least it should use the disc label as the iso
  name.

  Secondly I have never written the iso file to my home directory,
  always somewhere else.  Hit "properties" to change location.  Navigate
  to a different directory in the file dialog that appears.  Note how
  the name at the top is "brasero.iso" with brasero highlighted.  Start
  typing a new name.  Instead of it replacing the highlighted "brasero",
  a text entry filter field appears at the bottom right.  Click however
  many times it takes in the name field so you can actually enter the
  name you want.  Note that the button in the bottom right is labelled
  "Close" when it should really be "Accept" or something similar.  Click
  it.

  Now hit "Create Image".

  Note how you get a box popping up doing a Knight Rider impression and
  then telling you it is safe to remove the disc.  It isn't safe since
  the copy hasn't begun yet.  In fact the very last thing you should is
  remove the disc.  Additionally behind the scenes this popup is
  actually doing a sync operation and then unmounting the DVD.  Note
  that it syncs *all* drives.  If for example you happen to be doing a
  copy between two unrelated drives in another window then the sync will
  eventually timeout and you'll be told the copy has failed.  It hasn't
  even started to copy and the sync is unnecessary.

  The copy process then starts and works as expected.  An "estimated
  drive speed" label is displayed but no value for it.

  When complete it has a "success" label on the left, and then says how many bytes were copied on the right.  The number of bytes is modulo 4GB (ie the lower 32 bits of the actual number of bytes).  Additionally it is displayed in bytes not MiB like the interface was showing during the copying.  For example with the disc I just tried the copying process said the disc was 
  7644 MiB and the success says that 3720644608 bytes were copied.

  It would also be nice if the dialog had an eject button.  I just made
  a successful copy the disc so the original is unlikely to be of
  further use.

  Some discs have bad sectors (stupid Sony usage preventation schemes).
  If you are copying a disc and bad sectors are encountered then the
  error message shown is "Data could not be written (Input/output
  error)".  This is very misleading as the writing is not a problem - it
  is the reading that is the problem.  The log shows this:

  BraseroDvdcss called brasero_job_error
  BraseroDvdcss finished with an error
  BraseroDvdcss asked to stop because of an error
          error           = 1
          message = "Data could not be written (Input/output error)"
  BraseroDvdcss stopping
  Session error : Data could not be written (Input/output error) (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2839)
