This is what I do when burning DVDs from Linux - works well, images
verify.

As root -

cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc -dao -pad -speed=4 -v /path/to/dvd.iso

-=-

Without -pad - they still burn and install OK but fail media check.
Without -dao - cdrecord complains (maybe just my burner model) and
exits.

-dev=/dev/hdc is the path to my DVD burner.

I don't remember exactly model (I could find out) - but it is a basic
Sony 8x4x32 DVD+/-RW

I never use DVD-RW - I only use DVD-R.
It is suppose to be able to burn at 8x but it only seems to work at 4x
for me.
