Yes, I didn't make it clear that even with a CD it doesn't work on this
particular burner. Clarification noted.
I cannot see that you have problems with writing CDs in TAO.
If you did have problems, I am sure you did send a report....
I did try using packet mode with cdrecord. Even though PACKET is listed
as supported by the drive, and -packet is a documented option, it
doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the -dvd-compat mode streams,
there was a discussion of what it did, but I don't remember the details.
Compatibility may only be an issue with multimedia destined for DVD
players, I certainly don't do that, but I make a LOT of backups.
There is no -dvd-compat option.
You have edited out the sentence in your original message regarding
growisofs and packet mode:
growisofs only supports packet mode. This is less compatible than the
streaming
mode used by cdrecord.
There most definitely is a -dvd-compat mode, I just don't know without
studying the code how it works.
Now I have to go try mounting an individual session to see how good that
fake it.
You _need_ to run mkisofs twice in case you do not create an intermediate file.
The man page mentions using -isosize, but it seems that only works for a

8.5GB, and when Blu-Ray comes down a bit in media price 50GB will be

I see no difference regardless of the FS size.
The required space to save the image or time to make the run twice are
essentially linear. This increases the space and/or time required to
back up.
