Update: No, it still has the same problems.  When I eject the DVD and reinsert
it into the drive the damaged flag is turned on and the DVD cannot mount
anymore.  My Yamaha DVD Player connected to my TV cannot read the DVD too,
another DVD drive cannot read the DVD.

As long as I don't eject the drive, the DVD can be mounted and dvd+rw-mediainfo
reports a good track state.

There was actually no change to when I used genisoimage/growisofs builtin dd or
mkisofs/cdrecord.  Both produce the same problems.  Is there a flag for cdrecord
that handles the dvd in a different way, that I may write the fixation/index
entry later in another way?
