I burn 4+GB DVD's all the time, and have done so with RHEL-3/U2, U3, and
now U4.
(However, I do use DVD-R media.) Current kernel and dvdrecord packages are:
kernel-2.4.21-27.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
dvdrecord-0.1.2-12.i386.rpm
(1) My /etc/dvdrecord.conf file has these lines:
CDR_DEVICE=pioneerdvd
CDR_SPEED=2
CDR_FIFOSIZE=8m
#
# drive name device speed fifosize driveropts
#
pioneerdvd= 0,0,0 2 8m ""
(2) My kernel is invoked with "hdc=ide-scsi" (in the grub.conf file).
(3) Typical check to see #1 and #2 are setup properly is "dvdrecord
-scanbus"
# dvdrecord -scanbus

You and I are using different drive models, and different media. But I, too,
was having problems with the "cannot write CD's >= 100 minutes" message.
I'm not sure what I did to finally fix it. It might've been the "-dao" or
the /etc/dvdrecord.conf configuration edits.
My biggest beef has been with the burn rate ... Last month, I had a
couple of
sessions where it actually burned at 2X speed, but most of the time it
will only
burn at 1X.
