Installed the dvd tools to get growisofs since this seemed like the main alternative to cdrecord. (burncd didn't seem to like to burn DVDs, though I forget exactly its output.)

    growisofs seems to almost work, but breaks and is slow:

    growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0=buckdvd.iso

    That results in..

Executing 'builtin_dd if=buckdvd.iso of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0'

So it would seem to take hours to burn a DVD, and tanks after a few moments anyway.

Is "sysctl hw.ata.atapi_dma" set to 1? It looks like your system isn't able to send enough data to the burner to run at 4x, perhaps try burning at 1x speed and see whether that is more reliable. (Often that works better with low-quality DVD-R media, anyway...)

You might want to double check your ATA connections, is the burner on its own channel as the primary master, by preference...?
