Hello there,

recently I recorded an DVD (I think via totem-plugin: videodisc-recorder from
Philippe Rouquier; "about" says it belongs to brasero) to an ISO file.

Opening that ISO file with file-roller it shows the main folder containing an
directory with the DVD name (that contains AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders) and
the file .checksum.md5.

Burning that file with brasero works fine (withot any error), BUT: the main
folder only contains the folder with the DVD name. All files are there but
AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS are in the subfolder and not in the root folder of the
DVD.

Now totem doesn't play that copied DVD and clicking on the DVD icon opens the
file browser.

I believe that this is just a problem of the filesystem structure.
When you need more information, let me know.

reassign 642141 totem-plugins 2.30.2-6
retitle 642141 brasero-disc-recorder creates wrong video DVD structure
thanks

Update:

Some testing showed that the problem is in the totem
brasero-disc-recorder plugin.
When using totem b-d-r then there is the wrong directory structure in
the ISO file. I think possibly b-d-r plugin calls brasero with wrong
options. (Is it recording a data disc?)

When using brasero directly or via the libnautilus-brasero-extension
then everything (namely the ISO) is fine.
