Wow! Least expected... Is media playable in legacy units? Just
wondering...

It's totally up to you. Either would do the job. growisofs doesn't let
you just close the media without filling it up, because DVD-ROM
compatibility of such media would be permanently limited (see
dvd+rw-tools page for details). You either have to close first session
with -dvd-compat option or fill the media up if you've missed
-dvd-compat in first place. A.
