Sounds like a bug with brasero. You can try using K3b. https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/raring/k3b/ – Max Tither Jun 15 '13 at 17:10

2Six years later, this defect is still not solved. – August Karlstrom Oct 07 '19 at 18:51

First solution:
Just disable the checksum: Open Brasero > Edit > Plugins > Uncheck Image Checksum.
Second solution:
Install cdrdao and this should solve the problem. Unfortunately, it can't solve it in the middle of the burning process.
sudo apt-get install cdrdao

Doesn't work either, still stuck at 100% even when checksum is disabled but this time my CD keep spinning in the drive. Looks like my CD writer isn't compatible with Ubuntu, guess I better buy a new one, modern hardware tends to work better in Linux. – Nur Nov 23 '13 at 02:45

On the other place someone suggested to use k3b. But that's already becomes too far from simply using the native apps... – valk Nov 23 '13 at 09:16

I can't believe but this happens with external USB based burner on 16.04... – Aleksandar Pavić Jun 16 '20 at 05:59

k3b has been a standard on my machines for over a decade. It just works (TM). I was having the same problem with Brasero/gnome CD creator and just installed it. Problem solved.
The nice thing about Linux is it doesn't really matter what desktop/native environment you have, you can use applications from others. apt/yum will install all the needed libraries.
