I had a G4 DA (pretty similar to your QS), with 1GB Ram, and I had no
problem burning DVD-RW discs (with Toast 8).
In the past, I noticed MacOS had problems with +R optical media (so I always
used -R (or -RW) media afterwards), I don't know if this is still true.

Anyway, I usually set the burning speed to lower than maximum, freed up Ram
quitting most programs, and I didn't do anything "CPU heavy" while burning.
I think DVD burning has high data throughput, so a G4 can't likely handle
all of it while doing something else intensive.

Maybe Burn hasn't a "smart" enough memory managing?
I always used Toast, maybe it's memory management is better.

So it's either occupied memory, or some process that's still running.
