Me neither.

Yes, I told you a trick as a start point to debug your issue. Of course, 
Brasero should not have failed but we first need to know what and why 
hapened, right? So we need more clues to connect the points in the right 
form :-)

- If burning an ISO image also fails, then the problem may not have any 
relation to UDF.

- If burning an ISO image succeeds, then it can be something wrong at 
Brasero that makes it fail to detect the right extensions to use.

Now I recall, you can also try to burn the DVD from command line. I'm 
sure you will be able to find the right syntax to get the burning job 
done by googling a bit around.
