I thought I'd forward this to the factory list in the hope of the wodim developer seeing it. The sender of this mail has the complete opposite experience with wodim to myself and at least one other user.
I am not sure on whether you know that there is nothing like a "wodim developer". There are aprox. 100 well known similar bugs in the bundle called "cdrkit" that have been reported many years ago. There was no attempt to fix even the easy to fix ones past May 5th 2007. Since May 5th 2007 there have been typo fixes in the man pages but nothing more, so we need to asume that wodim is dead since nearly 4 years. Given the fact, that wodim is based on original software from September 2004, it seems to be obvious to drop this dead piece of software. There has been a discussion with Suse that resulted in the commitment from Suse (made in September 2009) to include the original software by default. What is the current state of this commitment? Does Suse deliver the original software by default?

Hi,
I don't know if anyone is aware of this, but I've been seeing this everywhere and its quite old.
I've copied the relevent lines from: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447910
"you are not using cdrecord but a bastardizd variant that does not really support to write DVDs."
This issue still exists because opensuse still provides wodim/cdrecord. I actually ran into this because wodim/cdrecord kept ruining my DVD's.
