I assume you had no problems reading this recording...

I can imagine this can confuse DVD-ROM players capable of multi-border
DVD-R playback (there aren't many, but they can be found in the wild),
possibly even recorders of different brands. But if it works for you,
then it works for you. But naturally it doesn't change the fact that
it's something fishy about this firmware, because this is not compliant
with specification. As implied earlier last border-out should point at
the end of last recorded track.

This values appear sane and are consistent with each other, so my
assumption holds, doesn't it? Cheers. A.
