Same for me on my old burner, but I got tired of changing the key for
cdrecord-proDVD and switched to growisofs.

I did with old source at the begining of cdrecord with DVD support, at
that time one should still need to specify the size of the session
before burning, which I thought was really a non sense as the program
could easyly calculate it for us.

I read the new manual from cdrecord and it seems it hasn't changed in
that aspect.

I do wrote a media using cdrecord now and the result was just perfect.
I attach the script I used to do the burning.
The DVD was perfectly readable under OSX.
