I've spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem, including over a couple of hours searching the list archives and the web. So I think it's time to call for help.
I'm running 9.22 on a PTP with a MaxPowr G3/500/1M CPU and a Sonnet Tempo ATA-133 card. Attached to the latter are two Maxtor 7200 RPM HD's (total 200 GB decimal) and a LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S (Firmware version JS02). I have three versions of Roxio Toast Titanium on my machine: 5.0.1, 5.2.1 and 5.2.3. All of them work for burning CD-R's in various formats. All of them recognize my (Sony) DVD-R discs and can tell me whether or not a DVD disc is writable. (The 5.2.x versions will also tell the number and size of sessions on an already-recorded disc.) The problem is that none of the Toast versions will allow me to write to a DVD! Theyall act is if they're about to write and go through the verification stage after the "Record" button is hit. The 5.2.x versions all then quit with a Type 2 or (IIRC) a Type 10 or 11 error. The 5.0.1 app will present the dialog box allowing me to choose the speed, although 1x and 2x are grayed out, so that 4x is the only option! The behavior after that varies. Sometimes it will, in either simulation mode or normal mode, spend 3-4 minutes "Writing lead-in ..." (during which time everything but the cursor is frozen) and then abort with a message that the recoording failed. (When it does this not in simulation mode, it sometimes procuces coasters in which at least a third ot the disk appears to have been written!) Other times, it will abort with a message that the following message: >Buffer Underrun Error. > >Writing was halted because data could not be sent to the recorder fast enough >to maintain the current write speed. > >Please try again with a slower write speed. Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, it doesn't give me the option of choosing a different write speed. I have, BTW, tried with various extensions on and off. I've even tried it starting with "Extensions Off", in which case only 5.0.1 will run and it's behavior is the same as with extensions on.
