Are you using some dvd burning software and dvd+w media? My colleagues
say that the DVD burners don't have "burnproof" when burning DVDs, so
you hsould have your DVD image "ready" at all times. We build an image
in a large file on a local disk before starting to burn it.
Oh, and we run the burn as root because otherwise it complains about not
being able to increase its priority.
In theory this should not be a problem if you're using DVD+RW media. In
theory....
