Second, are you getting any errors when you attempt to burn the DVD? It would be helpful to know what they are.
Ok, I tried to burn an image today and I found this in the messages log in /var/log: Jun 25 13:02:20 linbook1 kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

I am making an image of a home movie and as soon as I can I will use growisofs again and try to burn that image to a dvd+rw and give you the output.
