Here is the debug file.

killed the burn after an hour.

I'm unable to burn dvd or VCD with brasero. How can I fix that?

Comment #6 is not related to the other comments, but it is easy to fix:

Just use working backend software like:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

http://cdrecord.berlios.de/

Note that wodim does not properly support to write DVDs as the working DVD
code from the original cdrecord sources was removed and replaced with different
but half-baken code.

If you like to write VCDs, you need sufficient support for the CUE/BIN format
that is in recent cdrtools but not in wodim or cdrdao.

This is happening to me too. I tried to burn some vids to vcd for my wife but I couldn't because of this same bug.

Schily, how can I change the backend?, I'm very interested in cdrtools.
