Not at all. Most free software available for GNU/Linux is

In my case, speed=1 helps. Allowing the drive to determine the
burn speed results in discs which are partly unreadable in
non-writer units. But then I don't have a dual-layer drive. I
must have missed something. But do the failurs occur with
dual-layer, single-layer or both types of DVD blanks?
