Title:
  DVD created "successfully", but files unusable

Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: brasero

  I have twice tried to back up some files/folders with Brasero (Brasero 2.32.0).  Once by bringing Brasero up from the Menu, and  once by selecting "Open with CD/DVD Creator" from the pop-up window created when the disk was inserted.
  Both times it seemed to work.
  However, when I checked the files (for instance, double clicking on a photo to bring up the Image Viewer (thumbnails were all the generic JPG symbol instead of miniature pictures (a bad initial sign...)), a word processor file to bring up OpenOffice 3.2, or a .pdf. file to bring up the Document Viewer), the action was unsuccessful - either the program said that something was wrong with the file and it could not load it, or the file seemed to be gibberish.
  I have no idea what the problem is, and Brasero seems not to know anything is wrong.  Does it not compare the original files with the burned final product to see if it was correctly done?
  On the off chance that my disk burner was at fault, I installed a different burner (GnomeBaker (GnomeBaker 0.6.4)), and had success - all checked files were fine.
  The disks are unlikely to be at fault - they are Taiyo-Yuden/JVC disks.

  Release:	10.10

  The following seems obvious, but...

  3) What you expected to happen
  Files on created disk that identically matched the original files.

  4) What happened instead
  Files on created disk were unusable.

  I have a Dell computer (model as seen above in the uname command) with
  2GB, 1.7 Ghz, with a replaced DVD-burner from 3+years past.  I had
  specified Maximum or 8x burn, but the burns (with Brasero and with
  GnomeBaker) seemed to hover around 4x, so that may be the drive max
  (NO -  it's an 8x max - the disks are 16x DVD-R's)
