Hi, for completeness: One of the two Debian patches replaces the theory of SAO-versus-TAO. It turned out that the function, which transmits the libisofs image data to the burn software, dropped every second data block. (Actually the first block of each pair of blocks.)

This narrows the set to: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW. (DVD-RAM and DVD+R DL have significantly different sizes.) You should try a different brand of media. Best a different type. E.g. try DVD+R if the failing ones are DVD-R. If all reachable kinds of DVD fail, then consider to exchange the
