Re: Burning video DVD+R

I understand -dvd-video is an option of mkisofs which
growisofs does forward. It also triggers growisofs option
-dvd-compat for the burner part of growisofs.

So it would make no difference to -dvd-compat if you
burned an already formatted image. Like:
  growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=my_image_file

But if you let growisofs do the mkisofs run 
  growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 my_video_files ...
then -dvd-video should yield a different image to be
burned on the fly. (See man mkisofs, -dvd-video)

Nevertheless if DVD-R work well by the same
image formatting, i would not expect that a
mkisofs option brings the decisive progress.
(On the other hand: the devil is a squirrel)

Given yesterday's correction by Andy i re-read

Possibly you should read the paragraphs around
  "dvd+rw-booktype -dvd-rom -unit+r /dev/scdN"
for another experiment proposal.


Have a nice day :)
