Hi Martin, I'm not sure if this is related to this bug but I have the exact same issue as Carlos.
It destroyed 3 DVDs before I figured out mounting DVDs in Ubuntu was causing the problem. The disks were originally burned using Windows and I validated I could open them in Windows and a regular DVD player. Once opening them in Ubuntu, the disk would try to read and would launch Totem. Totem would not play the DVD and would only show a blank screen. After closing Totem and unmounting the disk, it was no longer readable in either Windows or Ubuntu. The syslog was full of entries such as [17187136.248000] UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'My DVD', timestamp 2006/12/04 15:46 (1f10) [17187199.428000] hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } [17187199.428000] hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 } [17187199.428000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown [17187199.428000] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 1308 [17187199.428000] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 327 I have an LG GSA-H22N DVD burner. Let me know if you would like anymore information.
