Hi, under the assumption that your Brasero is configured to use libburn, it is me who is responsible for the lower levels of drive operation.
I propose we discuss the problem on that lower level first in order to either find a bug of libburn or to tell Brasero maintainers what Brasero is supposed to do. (Can it be that 2.30.3 is quite old ? Too old for BD ?) For the inspection, get xorriso, - either from Debian "testing" - or as tarball from http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-1.2.4.tar.gz To be built by tar xzf xorriso-1.2.4.tar.gz cd xorriso-1.2.4 ./configure && make Usable within the xorriso-1.2.4 directory without installation as xorriso/xorriso instead of just "xorriso" as with the Debian package. Then let xorriso inspect the medium. Assuming that the drive address is /dev/sr0, do: xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc This should report something like Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr0' Drive type : vendor 'Optiarc' product 'BD RW BD-5300S' revision '1.04' Media current: BD-R sequential recording Media product: MEI/RA1/1 , Panasonic Corporation Media status : is blank Media blocks : 0 readable , 12219392 writable , 12219392 overall Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 23.3g free If it does, then you would need to install a newer version of Brasero for which we can find a source code repository. With some forth and back it should be possible to find out why it does not recognize libburn's readiness to deal with the medium. If xorriso does not report like abve, then execute again with verbous SCSI command log: xorriso -report_about debug -scsi_log on -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc 2>&1 \ | tee -i /tmp/xorriso.log The content of file /tmp/xorriso.log would be of interest.
