I think I read somewhere that at least Toast 6 is required to burn
DVD on other than G5, maybe G4 too.

I've spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem, including
over a couple of hours searching the list archives and the web. So I
think it's time to call for help.
I'm running 9.22 on a PTP with a MaxPowr G3/500/1M CPU and a Sonnet
Tempo ATA-133 card. Attached to the latter are two Maxtor 7200 RPM
HD's (total 200 GB decimal) and a LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S
(Firmware version JS02).
I have three versions of Roxio Toast Titanium on my machine: 5.0.1,
5.2.1 and 5.2.3. All of them work for burning CD-R's in various
formats. All of them recognize my (Sony) DVD-R discs and can tell me
whether or not a DVD disc is writable. (The 5.2.x versions will also
tell the number and size of sessions on an already-recorded disc.)
The problem is that none of the Toast versions will allow me to
write to a DVD! Theyall act is if they're about to write and go
through the verification stage after the "Record" button is hit. The
5.2.x versions all then quit with a Type 2 or (IIRC) a Type 10 or 11
error. The 5.0.1 app will present the dialog box allowing me to
choose the speed, although 1x and 2x are grayed out, so that 4x is
the only option! The behavior after that varies. Sometimes it will,
in either simulation mode or normal mode, spend 3-4 minutes "Writing
lead-in ..." (during which time everything but the cursor is frozen)
and then abort with a message that the recoording failed. (When it
does this not in simulation mode, it sometimes procuces coasters in
which at least a third ot the disk appears to have been written!)
Other times, it will abort with a message that the following message:
>Buffer Underrun Error.
