I don't know where wodim got its DVD code from,
but i do know that the following command works with
a DVD+RW:
  $ wodim -v dev=0,0,0 /dvdbuffer/fertig.iso
That's with version 1.1.2.

It seems to have similar restrictions as cdrecord.
I.e. this does not work:
  $ cat /dvdbuffer/fertig.iso | wodim -v dev=0,0,0 -
  ...
  wodim: Track 1 has unknown length.
  wodim: Use tsize= option in SAO mode to specify track size.

The SCSI gestures of growisofs are backed by MMC-5.
growisofs was born for DVD+RW and it can do unique
things with those media.
I think it deserves to be the first in a list of
DVD+RW burn programs for Linux.


Have a nice day :)
