Just because it didn't fail doesn't mean it actually ran at 24x. From
your earlier message:
Beginning DMA speed test. Set CDR_NODMATEST environment variable if device
communication breaks or freezes immediately after that.
Drive DMA Speed: 12430 kB/s 70x CD 8x DVD
FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB
Track 01: data 3414 MB

Lout start: 3922 MB (388:33/54) = 1748379 sectors

HINT: use dvd+rw-mediainfo from dvd+rw-tools for information extraction.

Speed set to 5540 KB/s
Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 4.0 in real unknown mode for single session.
Of course it also depends on the brand of DVD blank. Anyway, that in
itself doesn't explain why it's not working now.

I've had good results with k3b, but you'd need to install at least part
of KDE to get it if you don't have it already.
Or you could try cdrecord with '-dao' (disk-at-once mode) since you're
recording an entire ISO image and hence don't need multisession support.
