Strange. I've not had a problem writing the DVDs with wodim. Then again,
I still use cdrecord on 10.1, and I haven't had a problem with that
either.

If you only tro to do one of the few supported things from wodim it may
work, but note that the fact that wodim does not support the -atip option
with DVDs verifies that wodim uses guessed parameters instead of parameters
retrieved from your medium. Cdrecord correctly parameterises the values
since March 1998. Wodim ripped off working DVD support and replaced it by
simple and half baken code.


[0] apart from the fact that the system is too slow to write at anything
faster that 4x without suffering from many buffer underruns.

As you do not give any information on your problem, nobody can help you
with this problem.
