Brasero needs mplex and mpeg2enc plugins to work

I installed brasero using the snap store on my laptop running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Now it says I need mplex and mpeg2enc plugins to work.

After installing I tried to burn a DVD. When I clicked "Burn", a box popped up saying I needed to manually install mplex and mpeg2enc plug-ins.

I followed the instructions of this answer and ran the following commands without errors:

sudo snap remove brasero
sudo apt install brasero
sudo apt install libmpeg2encpp-2.1-0 mjpegtools

Then I ran Brasero from the terminal and it said the same thing in the desktop page. Also it gave the following 4 errors when running Brasero from the terminal:

(brasero:38058): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 19:59:27.343: attempting to add an interface (EggTreeMultiDragSource) to class (GtkFileSystemModel) after class_init

(brasero:38058): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 19:59:34.219: attempting to add an interface (EggTreeMultiDragSource) to class (GtkFileSystemModel) after class_init

(brasero:38058): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 19:59:54.569: g_dbus_proxy_call_finish_internal: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_PROXY (proxy)' failed

(brasero:38058): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 19:59:54.569: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I ran the new command, and terminal said the latest version was installed. I restarted the computer, and then tried a different file to make sure it wasn't a bad file I was trying to write. Brasero still say it needs the same 2 files.

Install Brasero with apt instead of snap.

sudo snap remove brasero
sudo apt install brasero

You can install the relevant encoding software with

sudo apt install libmpeg2encpp-2.1-0 mjpegtools

Just to confirm, did you still get the box which tells you to install mplex and mpeg2enc plugins?

I did the new command, and tried a couple simple other things that I added to my question. Still the same results.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
