And that is good so.

I understand the DVD-RAM defect management failed to
manage a defect. (I hardly ever see it work properly
with my own DVD-RAM experiments.)

This looks like a drive+media issue where both
programs will probably only differ by random
accident and not by technical principle.
Linux seems not to be to blame here at all.

cdrskin was just the more lucky program in that
night. If these failures happen frequently then
you have to do something about drive+media 
compatibility.
I.e. try some other media types and/or brands.
Try DVD+RW. That's an honest media.


Have a nice day :)
