Okay, then, is your patch necessary when using this command:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso

with a DVD? Or is this only applicable to BR? Because I don't own any BluRay
discs, or players.

If it's applicable to DVD, since I use the above command, you could send me
the patch and I'd apply it to app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-7.1-r1 in Gentoo and give
it a test drive.

I do remember that in the past I've experienced a similar error where it
appeared to me that growisofs seemed not to close media, but the data on the
DVD was fine, so I didn't pursue it.

Cheers,
Bruce
