Always

Steps to Reproduce:

---------------------
With RHEL7.9 version of brasero we're limited to burning BD-RE only, but would need BD-R too.

According to the change log of brasero, BD-R issue has been fixed for RHEL8, but not for RHEL7,
although the brasero version 3.12.2-5 is the same:

@bmilar will you take look at this and grant qa_ack+?

Comment 7 Bohdan Milar 2022-07-14 11:08:34 UTC

I try to test this issue.
I have brasero-3.12.2-5.el7_9.1 on RHEL 7.9.
Brasero correctly detects BD-R/BD-RE: "Blank disc (Writable Blu-ray disc)" vs "Blank BD-RE Disc"

My reproducer:
1. Have computer with Blu-ray writer.
2. Start brasero.
3. Project -> New Project -> New Data Project
4. Edit -> Add Files
5. Select some existing file or directory with read permissions (e.g. /etc/passwd)
6. Insert BD-R to the Blu-ray writer.
7. Click the most bottom toggle button "Image File: ..." (left of the "Burn..." button)
8. Select "Blank BD-R Disc: ..." from the pop-up menu.
9. Click the "Burn..." button.

Then I can see a small window titled by the name of the Blu-ray writer.
It contains Burning speed toggle button with correct values to be selected (e.g. speed max 4.0x for BD-R 4x).

Question:
Is the described procedure enough to prove the requested funcionality or is it necessary to physically write the data to the BD-R media?

Tested yesterday with brasero-3.12.2-5.el7_9.1
I used my reproducer described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2053594#c7

BD-R was correctly recognized and the content (data project of about 24.5 GB) was successfully written.
