Bug#681192: brasero: Brasero refuses to burn video DVDs

[Francois Gouget]

Package: brasero
Version: 3.4.1-4
Followup-For: Bug #681192

Here is a workaround for this 'Please replace the disc' issue: install the brasero-cdrkit package.
Note that as of 3.4.1-1, brasero neither depends nor suggests brasero-cdrkit which I think qualifies as a bug. 

Unfortunately getting past this hurdle will only gain you access to the error message:
   All required applications and libraries are not installed.

   Please install the following manually and try again:
   mplex (GStreamer plugin)

But that's for another bug (bug 703627)...

One more thing, after working around that second bug I get another error:

   Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency brasero-burn.c:1739)
   Session error : An internal error occurred (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2856)

Various sources say that installing the barsero-cdrkit package is supposed to fix this. No dice here but that probably means Debian's brasero-cdrkit package is somewhat broken.
