This is a result from incorrect device handling by wodim.....
As you see, wodim does not support to write DVDs, conclusion:
Just don't use unsupported software like wodim.

Instead use recent maintained original software from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

Cdrecord correctly writes DVDs since 10 years.

Wodim has been created by some people in order to harm free software 
development. These people don't care whether the users of the software they 
publish have problems.... Wodim has been created from a 2.5 year old version
of cdrecord. The mature build system has been replaced by something of 
questionable quality. The mature DVD support code has been ripped off and 
replaced by something half-baken...

There was 8 months of speudo activity in the "project", but it is dead since
nearly 9 months now.

BTW: make sure to install cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav suid root and take care to
also replace the broken Debian variant of mkisofs by the official code.
