The usual symptom for this problem is that when you download the file, the file size reported by your tool (and the amount of data that it downloads) is too small by exactly 4 GB. For example, if the DVD image is 4.4 GB large, your tool will report a size of 0.4 GB.

Is a DVD disc made like a CD?

Frequently Asked Questions | CD | Digital Disc Manufacturing...
In many ways, the process is similar, but there are some big differences. The DVD disc is made of two layers, each half the thickness of a CD. So when they're bonded together they are as thick as a CD (1.2 mm). The pits of a DVD disc are half as big, and much more closely spaced, than those of a CD. That means the laser that "reads" the disc must be smaller and more sharply focused.
