Hi, genisoimage (<-mkisofs) is part of the cdrkit which is heavily based on cdrtools (2006). cdrkit also contains, most notably, wodim (<-cdrecord), a drop in replacement for cdrecord. Command line compatibility with the respective programs is given afaict. The cdrkit project had been started due to the licensing issues that always existed with Jörg Schillings work on cdrtools, especially when it came to creating DVDs. Debian based distros only ship with cdrkit nowadays.
