This is just to document my experience doing a fresh install of 8.04
After using an image I had downloaded in April, I proceeded to install .... only for it to crash due to a file error.
First lesson, do a check for defects on the CD before attempting an install from* CD. It will save a lot of stress.
Secondly, I then downloaded the latest image and it was less than 700MB but when trying to burn using Brasero, it was saying that the image was too big for the CD. Even though I had selected the correct size within Brasero.
After more stress and trying to find smaller images I then, in the end, just chose the alternate disc. Brasero still wouldn't accept the 695 saying it was still too large for 700 CD.
In the end, just as a last resort, I tried CD/DVD Creator and it worked!!
Just a few tips .... use CD/DVD Creator and check the
CD for defects before commencing.

I have tried Brasero 3 or 4 times and it has never burnt a CD or DVD
image successfully, which is why I have gone back to Gnomebaker. Over
the years I must have burnt more than 100 .iso images and several other
types of disk and cannot recall more than about 2 failures.
Regards, John

Did you check the MD5 sum for the *.iso? We're you sure to burn the *.iso as an image instead of data? Perhaps you have a bad set of CD-R's - try a different batch if they are available to you. Are you sure you have 700MB CD's and not 650MB's?

That said, I am burning the liveCD using Brasero (0.7.1) as I type this.
I received no such error. Brought up Brasero, selected "Burn Image",
pointed it to the iso (Path), told it that it was an iso (Image Type),
and off it went.
And, in the time that it took me to write this, Brasero burned the iso,
and the freshly burned iso is booting on a test machine right now.

Note that I didn't make any modifications as suggested in that bug
report. However I did not let Brasero select the type for me, and
instead I selected 'iso' at the 'Image Type'. Maybe you and the folks in
the bug report left the 'Image Type' at "Let brasero choose (safest)"
rather than selecting ISO? If so, then maybe that's the problem? Don't
know as I don't burn CD's that often & most of the time I use k3b or
just right click on the iso from Nautilus and tell it to burn directly.
