Have you tried this in safe mode? I actually don't know if burning
will work or not, but it will limit the number of variables.
Just tried it. In Safe Mode, I can burn & verify (Finder, DU, Burn),
as expected. Works fine, until the free list is tiny - then either
the burn or verify fails. No errors were thrown into the reg console
or system logs. The only error is a simply verify failed message.
Even tried a few at 2x, no change. eg:
Burn: Burn started, Sat Apr 14 13:24:40 2012
Burn: Erase started, Sat Apr 14 13:24:41 2012
Burn: Erasing in PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-127D B912 via ATAPI.
Burn: Erase finished, Sat Apr 14 13:25:12 2012
Burn: Burning to DVD+RW media with DAO strategy in PIONEER DVD-RW
DVR-127D B912 via ATAPI.
Burn: Requested burn speed was 4x, actual burn speed is 4x.
Burn: Burn finished, Sat Apr 14 13:38:13 2012
Burn: Verify started, Sat Apr 14 13:38:13 2012
Burn: Verify failed, Sat Apr 14 13:39:56 2012
Since I had the machine down, I ran another set of verify disk passes
on all volumes - clean. Cleared caches, applejacked, etc. No diff.

Just a WAG but could it be a drive firmware problem?
hummm. I bought the burner from OWC several years ago and
transplanted it to my QuickSilver late last year. You've reminded me
that there is a firmware update for it -- to enable DL and 16x
burning. Just applied it! Works nice. Thanks for reminding me
about it!!!! But... made no change in the problem at hand.
