I have never personally seen a message like that, so asking cdwrite
mailing list (see lists.debian.org for the cdwrite list) would be better
since that is where the authors of those programs hang out.

Well I burn DVDs like this:

-J and -R and /dirwithfiles are of course mkisofs options.

Appending files is done by changing -Z to -M and providing a dir with
the new files to add.

Burning an image is done with: growisofs -Z /dev/hda=image.iso

k3b is supposed to support growisofs although I find the command line
tools a lot easier to use (and I burn as root since some kernels require
that, and I don't run X as root, so k3b is not an option really even if
I liked it.)

I do NOT use ide-scsi.

Using media your drive (and firmware) doesn't likem causes strange
errors.  If you have a problem, try another brand of media just in case.
Check if there is firmware updates for your drive.

Hmm, maybe someone has been trying to update the patch.  I still think
growisofs is much simpler and nicer to use.

 I use growisofs as well but for DVD+R[W] media.

It works equally well for DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+R as it does for DVD+RW.

I have no idea how it works, as I don't use nautilus, k3b, or any other
thing requiring me to actually move the mouse to get work done, if I can
avoid it.  With the command line I know what is going on, and I can see
any errors that occour and fix them.  The purpose of a gui is to hide
details and problems from users so they think things are easier.

I think a lot of people get confused about burning, and
composing a dvd. Once a dvd, or image of a dvd is done then
burning it with your gui is not a problem.  I do agree that
in order to get an image, or a composite of a dvd is the
hard part.

Since a lot of people are used to the way windows handles
dvds they assume that all they have to do is click a button, and
their dvd will be ready for burning. So people confuse
burning with composing, under Gnu/Linux its more of a
process as most people know who read this list. If anyone
has used dvdauthor will know that it can be tricky.  Not to
mention that to get the same functionality you will need non
DFSG programs such as mencoder, transcode and the infamous
decss. Then we will have the upcoming DRM, and format wars
that are upon us. I do not see a very easy solution for
composing a DVD for a while, even under Windows and the DRM,
Trusted Computing, the days of simplicity may be over. It
might be a long process to exercise your rights of fair use
in the USA.

But if your interested in a Linux guide of how to compose
and make a dvd then this might be of interest to all those
who follow this thread.

http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/en/single/index.html

I at least found the links above to be very useful!

I use xcdroast.
Try it - you'll like it.
Completely coincidentally, I actually installed this this morning, but 
I've been having issues.

1. It keeps saying that I need to install ProDVD support before I can 
write DVDs. Now, I can find the cdrecord-prodvd source (I think), but is 
there a package for it somewhere?

2. Even though I've enabled scsi emulation on my DVD drive (added 
hdd=ide-scsi to my grub kernel line, and have had to change the 
mountpoint of /media/cdrom1 to /dev/scd1), when I select [3,0,0] from 
the Device-Scan part of the XCDroast setup, it says that I've selected 
an ATAPI device as my CD writer. There is an ATAPI version of my DVD 
drive about, but I don't select it! Curses.

Any suggestions?

Try http://www.xcdroast.org/manual/dvd.html

There is no debian package. I think it's because of the license and
there is no source code included.

I have seen this error before when the iso was bad after
partial copying from a good iso. Use a mount -t iso9660 -o
loop to see if the iso is the problem.
I have used the dvd+rw-tools because dvdrecord is based
on cdrecord. Use growisofs instead of mkisofs for DVDs.
