You�re right, I messed it up. Obviously, there is a big difference between 
what my brain wanted to be written down and my hands actually did... ;-(

To get it right, burning works in general, but only without -speed option.

Actually, I don`t know what happened with 2822, probably I messed it up too. I 
was simply trying too many different things that evening to get burning done 
properly...

Here is the dvd+rw-mediatools verbose output for Verbatim DLP 8x (burning only 
1x works):

And here Sony 4x (burning 2x works):

Thanks for your help!
