One possibility is that it's crap media. Unfortunately, there is not a lot
of good-quality DVD+R DL media out there. Verbatim's is the best and the
only type that seems to work reasonably well in all dual layer burners.
If you're not already using Verbatim media, grab one of their discs and see
if that cures your problem.
Most dual layer media seems to be made by Ritek (Memorex's is Ritek, e.g.)
and while their single-layer discs are fine, their dual-layer are assuredly
not.
The burner matters too. Some burners are better with dual layer media than
other burners are.

Subject: DVD burn error: No space left on device
I got some dual-layer DVDs to burn this 5GB .dmg file to, so I ran the
command:
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -use-the-force-luke=dao -Z \
/dev/rcd0c=/home/guitarscn/image.dmg
I tested this same command twice for some reason...but now I've wasted
two DVD+R dual-layer DVDs. :(
Anyway, it works fine up until it gets to like...99.7% (both times were
pretty similar; towards the end)
5158267527/5185629472 (99.6%) @2.2x, remaining 0:04 RBU 42.4% UBU 100%
/* The RBU % and UBU % numbers change randomly; dunno if they're \
supposed to do that */

Are there some other tags I'm supposed to append to the command,
like -l or -J or some other stuff? What am I doing wrong? Don't
wanna waste another DVD. :( ..
