   One problem may be that you are not using cdrecord as the backend. Many   
   distros package cdrkit, and 20 year old version of cdrecord (created due   
   to an utterly childish battle between some of the debian people and   
   Schilling, the author of cdrecord). Schilling has kept cdrecord   
   (cdrtools) up-to-date with new recording hardware. The cdrkit people   
   have not. (cdrkit was a clone of an ancient version of cdrtools that   
   then languished as far as updates were concerned) So I would check what   
   it is that you are using in OpenSuse.   
      
   I also presume that you have at least tried to close the writing before   
   the disk is completely full (eg, just try to put on 5 of the videos   
   instead of 6 and see if things work then.
