3. What kind of dvd media you use - RW or W
DVD+RW
I have read a lot of complains that RW media is not good for this task. Can you try with normal blank DVD?
Usually DVD+RW/R is slightly more reliable for data burning than DVD-RW/R ...
But it might be worth checking the capabilities of the drive with.
wodim -prcap -dev=/dev/dvd
This is what I got
Andredo@linux-Andre:~> wodim -prcap -dev=/dev/dvd wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
Try as root, if this error disappears you may have to set the suid ...
limits.Device type : Removable CD-ROM André den Oudsten
Your DVD does not burn DVD+ media use DVD- media
My error, seems that output does distinguish DVD- and DVD+ media capabilities (I thought it used to but memory must have been playing tricks last night).
Yet I have this same file burned on a DVD+ , as SPD2412 should do!

The output is adjusted to media in a drive, which is good to know when troubleshooting: With K3b output is: No media: (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0: Number of supported write speeds via 2A: 7 (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 8467 KB/s (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 7056 KB/s (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 5645 KB/s (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 4234 KB/s (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 2822 KB/s (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 1411 KB/s (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 Invalid DVD speed: 706 KB/s (K3bDevice::DeviceManager) setting current write speed of device /dev/sr0 to 0 Media in (DVD-RW 2x): (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0: Number of supported write speeds via GET PERFORMANCE: 1 (K3bDevice::Device) /dev/sr0 : 2770 KB/s With wodim output is: No media: Maximum read speed: 8467 kB/s (CD 48x, DVD 6x) Current read speed: 8467 kB/s (CD 48x, DVD 6x) Maximum write speed: 8467 kB/s (CD 48x, DVD 6x) Current write speed: 8467 kB/s (CD 48x, DVD 6x) ...

It is isnt it :-) This feature seems to be well documented (not). What was odd was the OPs wodim listing had the current supported mode as one which should not allow DVD writing but the current writing speeds were something entirely different (on most occasions are synchronised). I am used to drives saying they can do something that they cant but this first time I have come across one which seems to contradicting itself :-)
BTW, according to wodim I should use CDs burned on DVD to have higher reading speed, 62x vs. 48x.
