I've set the debug variable in the key nautilus-burner via gconf-editor and had a look at ~./xsession-errors nautilus-burner creates first an iso with mkisofs -> works ok then it erases the cd content (if cd-rw): cdrecord blank=fast -> works ok and then it uses the following command to write the iso image to the burner: cdrecord fs=16m dev=/dev/hdc -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad imagename.iso -> cancels with an error message that this writing mode isn't supported on my specific drive In breezy nautilus-burner executes the same command without -dao -> works If I type the same command in a terminal I'll get the same result, without -dao the image gets burned (this is under dapper); cdrecord then says no writing mode specified, assuming tao mode. Your link to bugzilla.gnome.org describes exactly the same problem. This is a problem that will concern mainly "old" burners, which don't support DAO mode. Mine is from 1999; a 4x4x24x Philips CDD-4201.
