Wrong, -dvd-compat is not exclusively for DVD-Video. -dvd-compat is
a generic growisofs option and intstructs it to master media in most
compatible way, compatible with legacy DVD-ROM units and DVD-Video
players. As manual page mentions in write-once context it results in
unappendable media (closed disk), and in DVD+RW context unit will
take extra time at the end of recording to burn lead-out. -dvd-compat
makes sense even if you master data media.

These are somewhat misleading examples. If /path/to/dvdvideo/image
is preformatted volume image, then neither of the above commands do
what you most likely imply. To eliminate doubts you should have
"spelled" them as following:

growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -dvd-video /path/to/where/video_ts/directory/resides/

and

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=/path/to/premastered/dvdvideo.image

As for the first command above. -dvd-video implies -dvd-compat [as
well as -udf], but if it makes easier to remember, feel free to
pass both -dvd-compat and -dvd-video, e.g.:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0 -dvd-video /path/to/where/video_ts/directory/resides/'

And once again, -dvd-compat is not specific for DVD-Video. A.
