Yes. cdrskin uses its fifo to peek at the first
few kB of the image. growisofs does it similar.
That is necessary only for write mode DAO of
DVD-R[W] and SAO of CD-R[W].
With the multi-session capable mode Incremental
of DVD-R one can just start writing.
DVD+R and BD-R behave about the same.
DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, BD-RE can be freely written
in random access with 2 or 32 kB granularity.
DVD-RW can be switched between DVD-R behavior
and DVD+RW behavior.

But cdrecord and wodim should be able to do this
on CD by option -tao.
Their handicap is with DVD only.

Any reason why cdrskin does not suffice for your
purposes ? It is willing to burn CD, DVD and BD.
Have a nice day :)
