I saw the mediacheck fail as well.

I've been playing with both "cdrecord" and "growisofs", and have been
getting DVDs that are somewhat too long.  It has been zero-padding it to
a 64K boundary.

So this begs the question of whether the mediacheck knows the length
of the DVD and truncates it's check or not?

If it doesn't, it should be doing this, since it seems some writers
have issues with getting the exact ISO length on the disk.
