There is a mode of operation for growisofs that write a pre-existing iso
file to a dvd. You can use this in place of cdrecord for dvd. See the
growisofs man page.

Actually growisofs *uses* mkisofs to do its data formatting. You do not
escape mkisofs by using growisofs. You merely hide some of its power and
flexibility (in return for very considerable convenience).

.  for *cd[rom]*-images:

use cdrecord.   under 2.6.x kernels do 

 #  cdrecord dev=/dev/hdX speed=xy-data -v -eject   some_iso_file   


   under  2.4.x kernels
do first  #  cdrecord -scanbus  dev=ATAPI   (or   dev=ATA) to get x,y,z (scsibus_codes) 


and than  cdrecord  dev=ATAPI:x,y,z  etc.  etc.

K3B has been unusable for me for a very long time. I simply just use

1) cdrecord (for music and cd-rom isos)
2) cdrdao if I need to burn vcd's
3) growisofs for dvd's

Of the three, cdrdao is more perplexing because I have to remember the
options each time - or simply use cdr (ctrl-R) in bash to bring up the
options from the last time I used it. I don't use cdrdao very much.

Recording/mastering music CDs with cdrecord is nearly as easy as
mastering ISO images for me, and all I need to do is pass the options
(-audio -pad) followed by a number of wav files on the command line.
For data isos from files, though, I find drag & drop a little easier to
use (using gcombust mostly) since I've found it difficult in the past
to place a number of files onto a cdrom image using mkisofs
(*especially* if there are multiple subdirectories involved).

Mastering a dvd from data files also is possible - but dependent on
mkisofs - still that irksome issue in trying to make an image from
(for instance) /home, with a ton of directories and files to look at.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the variant options of mkisofs. k3b or
gcombust would be useful here, if they could be used for dvd images,
and I don't see why not, if they can skip the actual step of burning
the ISO (leave that process to cdrecord or growisofs). Since I got the
unit, I haven't really tried doing that except for backup purposes -
and then I used mindi/mondo a few times.

As you explore Konquerer, you'll find it to be an amazing tool.  Load
an audio CD and then hit F9 to show the sidebar.  Toward the bottom
will be an audio CD menu and under that MP#, FLAC, OGG, and CD-AUDIO
folders.  All you need to do is copy the file(s) from one of those
folders to another and the tracks are ripped and encoded in the chosed
format on the fly.

Rather cool, me thinks.  :-)

I just use cdrecord. After adding the proper device definition to
/etc/default/cdrecord, and adding my account to the cdrom group, it's
just a matter of running

$ cdrecord FILE.iso

growisofs from dvd+rw-tools does the same thing for recordable DVD, and
is even slightly simpler to use.
