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.
