Solution #1: Provide an option to "Verify Disc upon completion"

Provide an option to "Verify Disc upon completion"

The program will automatically verify the content of the disk with the source iso after buring

Windows software "Nero Burning Rom" provide this option long long ago

Solution #2: Create checking mechanism
Written by Lachu the 1 May 10 at 15:14.
Add to Ubuntu CD's menu new entry called: check checksums(cd integrity). The checksums should been written at the medium. By this option, there should been possible to use this feature without dependency on burning program.

Solution #3: iso image checksum calculator
Written by dinar the 18 May 10 at 10:49.
iso image checksum calculator is needed, because it is hard to use md5sum command. this is needed to check cd taken from somebody that you do not trust so much, whether it is same as in ubuntu site, also can be used to check cd-rw, whether it has been modified.

And k3b too! (KDE default burning software) ;)

Gnome's brasero do not have this option in the burning menu

K3B does this quite nicely.

Gnomebaker: No disk check

K3B: Verify written data checkbox in burn dialog

Gnome Brasero:
Tools->Check integrity
Image checksum after burn plugin enabled by default (and you can choose the hashing algorithm)
file checksum plugin available

So it seems this idea is already implemented since Brasero is the official Ubuntu burning software, unless it is to have the option in the burn dialog.

I'll try out Brasero for a change to see if it does the check correctly after burning. :)
And I didn't know about the file checksum feature and hash algo choice.
Might make it a more interesting option than K3B.

One feature I'm still looking for is delete source files after burning.

"Add to Ubuntu CD's menu new entry called: check checksums(cd integrity)." - as i know, this is already in ubuntu cds.

which ? there are 3 suggestions!
i did not like when you, brainstorm developers, made bunches of solving ways instead old "ideas" . they now bunched by their "rationale".
in this case, you see that this marking as implemented feature is now buggy.
i have searched now suggestion about that new/old brainstorm and found: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17273/ "Allows us to revert to the old brainstorm UI" , now i will look it.
