   I have three apps that no longer can burn image to DVD.   
      
   Yes. the iso is under 4.7 gigs and yes, I can burn files to the   
   DVD...just cannot burn and image   
      
   There has to be a global problem of some type as   
      
   Brasero, Disk Image Writer and Burner all could not have failed at once.   
      
   If I try to burn an ISO there are only two options   
      
      
   USB stick or very dangerously.. the actual hard drive itself.   
      
   I can't imagine what would happen if someone took that option.   
      
   The option to burn to DVD is greyed out.   
      
      
   Now, If I quit the project and opt to start a new project and manually   
   configure the burning program (all three) I get the message:   
      
   The format of the disk could not be identified please set it manually.   
      
   Of note, I just got done setting it manually.   
      
   Anyway, this is more a matter of curiosity as it is very rare that I'd   
   ever need to burn an ISO to DVD plus I have half a dozen other machines   
   that I could use if I ever need to .   
      
   I'm less disturbed about the burning software not being able to use a   
   DVD than I am that burning to the hard drive itself is an option.   
      
   NOT going to experiment with that one !!!
