Weirdly enough, I WAS able to burn data to DVDs, as a matter of fact I just burned 2, but then it just stopped working.

I tried using Brasero, Xfburn and K3b, and they all give some sort of error. I tried installing/uninstalling the software, removing/re-adding wodim, but to no avail.

I am fairly new to Ubuntu, and the terminal still scares me a bit, sorry for bothering you with this issue. Thank you for your time and effort, it is greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays!

Xfburn: Failure: Cannot reserve track of 4458938368 bytes

Researching a bit on Ubuntu Forums led me to this thread. The line of error that's at the beginning of your charts is actually a bug. But at the end of the thread you can also see from the posts that the cause of the failures was infact a faulty medium. Also at the very end it is suggested you try doing so by disabling the md5 plugin. So you might give it a shot as well.

it could be the back-end used which is cdrkit, you can read more about it here

you could replace it with a ppa
