This is one of the rare times I would agree with Joerg that trying 
cdrecord is desirable, even though there may be a need to create a huge 
ISO image and burn from that. I have not had a problem with either 
program, but without some effort I can't tell you which drives and media 
I've been using, as I'm not on the right machines.



I never had the need to try growisofs besides cdrecord

Cdrecord does all I need (CD/DVD/BluRay) in a single program.
  


It may do all you need, but growisofs is vastly easier to use for 
multiple sessions. It's not about /capability/ but about /usability/ in 
this case, adding sessions is just more convenient.

The main reason why I do not use growisofs is that growisofs is much harder tro 
use then cdrecord.

In my reality running multiple commands and copying the cryptic numbers 
output by one into the command string of another and then creating an 
iso to be used by a third is a lot harder than one simple giving the 
device name of a partially written DVD and a list of stuff to add.


I'm virtually certain that your reality differs. :-(
