I guess I'll disable the defect management, since it's taking way too much time anyway (average write speed 1.7x (1 hour for a disk) even though I told it to use 8x). I'd use xorriso, but if I'm not mistaken it doesn't support UDF yet, right? (I could prepare an image beforehand, but it's somewhat impractical do to so each time).
