growisofs

growisofs was originally designed as a frontend to mkisofs to facilitate appending of data to iso9660 volumes residing on random-access media such as DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, plain files, hard disk partitions. In the course of development general purpose DVD recording support was implemented, and as of now growisofs supports not only random-access media, but even mastering of multisession DVD media such as DVD+R and DVD-R/-RW, as well as Blu-ray Disc.

Parameters

-dvd-compat

Provide maximum media compatibility with DVD-ROM/-Video. In write-once DVD+R or DVD-R context this results in unappendable recording (closed disk). In DVD+RW context it instructs the logical unit to explicitly burn (otherwise optional) lead-out.

-Z DEVICE

Burn an initial session to the selected DEVICE. A special form of this option is recognized to support burning of pre-mastered images.
