Okay. Here ya go! Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on what happens when
it grows larger than the 1GB point.

I notice that it lists the "legacy lead-out" at what would seem to be
the place where I get the I/O errors.
I looked up the "-lead-out" option for dvd+rw-format, but that doesn't
seem likely to fix the problem since it's intended to help with drive
firmware. Since these disks read fine under WinXP (running under VmWare
on the same machine), I'd have to guess that the problem has something to
do with Linux.
