I use growisofs and it works for me. The documentation is good and tells
a lot about the differences between dvd and cd. growisofs is much easier
to work with than mkisofs and cdrecord combo. Actually growisofs uses
mkisofs as a 'backend'. It passes mkisofs options to mkisofs and those
options are not properly documented in the docs, but they do work.
