About using "growisofs" instead of "wodim", there seems to be some confusion from Pedro Villavicencio.
Currently, Ubuntu 9.04, "brasero (2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" depends on "wodim (1.1.9-1ubuntu1)", and therefore is not possible to install brasero without it.
Besides that, I believe brasero actually uses one or another program depending on the media used, CD or DVD, and the type of data being burned.
I have logs that show that "BraseroWodim" is being used when burning a CD-RW, but "BraseroGrowisofs" when the media is DVD-RW. You can see the logs when running brasero in debug mode "brasero -g"
I also believe that the problem may not be brasero itself, but may be with the underlying "wodim", "genisoimage", or other packages. I remember I had a similar problem with "gnomebaker (0.6.4-1)", which resulted in a "fixation error" like that of bug #234521
Therefore, in order to really troubleshoot this a lot of testing needs to be done. This is in fact the problem, because it means that you need to waste several blank CDs or DVDs if you want to exhaust all the possibilities and, of course, using rewritable (-RW) media is not enough.
