Brasero doesn't show correct speed when burning

Can you try with Brasero 0.7.x we made several improvements and fixed a few bugs on your problem.

This happens in brasero 0.7 as well

Triaged to Confirmed. Being tracked by Gnome folks.

TerryG, you're completely wrong! GNOME bug #507651 is for a completely different issue: #507651 is about the ESTIMATED speed shown WHILE you burn, whereas this bug is about the speed you CHOOSE PRIOR to start the burning!

The correct upstream bug is: Bug 525501 – Brasero displays odd burning speeds (1-3-5-etc) instead of even values (2-4-8-etc)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525501

The fix is absolutely trivial, *but* it was only tested on systems that had correct speeds with Brasero 0.6.1 (*NOT* 0.6.90!!!) and incorrect speeds with 0.7.0 and 0.7.1.

Both optical units that show this result are by LG:
-- laptop unit: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N. Capabilities: CD-R: 24x; DVD-R/DVD+R: 6x ZCLV.
-- PC unit: GCE-8526B. Capabilities: CD-R: 52x.

These models are reported in dmesg anyway. I can't run sginfo, but these units are *very* popular.

I can't believe that *only* the LG units report speeds in KiB or in KB that get computed in incorrect Nx speed values in Brasero >= 0.6.90!

this is fixed upstream, thanks for reporting.

This bug was fixed in the package brasero - 0.7.91-0ubuntu1
