This does not look like a problem with cdrecord but rather like one with mkisofs. > My only conclusion is that on my linux with my hardware nero > works perfectly when cdrecord don't.

I can offer program xorriso as an alternative to mkisofs as long as it is for ISO 9660 data file recording. Afaik, there is a standard for auxiliary data files in an UDF file system which help non-computer video players to handle the video files. These will not get generated by xorriso. But i assume that Mplayer will play a video file in a mounted ISO filesystem. xorriso is available as http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-0.3.2.pl01.tar.gz It gets installed with alternative alias name xorrisofs under which will perform a sparse mkisofs emulation. I expect xorrisofs to be suitable for the if [ $VIDEO -eq 0 ] situation in your script. No UDF, no -dvd-video. Its alias xorrecord will perform sparse cdrecord emulation. But you would have to replace dev="5,0,0" by dev=/dev/sr1. As itself, xorriso has its unique qualities. Be invited to read at least the man page section EXAMPLES. Vice versa you could test whether Mplayer can can handle the video if mkisofs writes its result to a hard disk file. Mount that disk file as filesystem mount -t iso9660 -o loop disk_file /mnt look for your video file underneath /mnt and let Mplayer play it.
