Hi David,
wasn't there some problem with LG burners a while ago? I seem to
remember something...
perhaps there is a firmware upgrade?
another idea, is it failing if you "close the disk" or if you leave the
disk to be appended to?

There is a known growisofs bug wherein it reports an error but exits
with zero exit code, which could fool the GUI into thinking there's no
problem when there has been one. Try using growisofs directly so you
can see what's going on.
using this command:
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=1 -Z /dev/scd0 /path/to/files/
I get this output:
Executing 'genisoimage DVD/ | builtin_dd of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0'

No error messages that I can see there.
When I do <ls -l /cdrom/> all the files seem to be present and
correct, but I can't copy or read the last three (large) files.
The DVD's are LG brand and the burner is also LG brand! That may not
mean anything I suppose.
