"Thanks for the report.

I'm afraid this is not a bug: MMC standards only define burnproof (or related
technologies) for CDs and DVDs-R. For the other types of media, the way they
are written (overwrite, more or less like a hard drive) means that they don't
need such a thing as burnproof or related technologies. This process is safe in
itself and won't (shouldn't??) fail.

That's why I chose to leave the checkbox greyed out when burning to these
media.
I knew this would confuse the users and probably scare them but I didn't know
how to do it otherwise (maybe remove it?).

I checked the log you sent me and the user was having a DVD+R inserted it
seems, that's why he didn't have burnproof.

On the other hand, if a user has a CD/DVD-Rw inserted and if burnproof isn't
available then, that will be a bug indeed. You can tell your users to try with
a CD or a DVD-R.

If you come up with another idea or if this happens with CDs and DVD-Rw, please
reopen the bug and let me know.
