Brasero fails on small dvd images

Binary package hint: brasero

Burning a DVD with an ISO-Image which is too small (less than 800 MB, mine is around 550 MB) fails.

Happened to me on hardy i386, but applies to other versions as well.

Problem: when an ISO image is too small, more data has to be added before DVD fixation. Brasero seems to be ignoring that the drive will write a huge lead out!

Possible fix: burn with cdrecord (cdrecord happily writes this ISO to a DVD-R and waits as needed until the drive is ready).
