With growisofs this depends on the formatting state of the media. Profile 0013h "DVD-RW restricted overwrite" or profile 0014h "DVD-RW sequential recording". The "dirty trick" is applied to 0013h and is a good reason to applaud Andy Polykov. One can carry it even one step further to obtain an emulated Table Of Content on overwriteable media and in disk filesystem objects: TOC layout : Idx , sbsector , Size , Volume Id ISO session : 1 , 32 , 742034s , HOME_2008_11_05_213825 ISO session : 2 , 742080 , 32588s , HOME_2008_11_06_221656 Andy will surely recognize why the start LBA 32 of the first session is essential for that. :) Others may learn from http://libburnia-project.org/browser/libburn/trunk/doc/cookbook.txt "ISO 9660 multi-session emulation on overwriteable media" "ISO 9660 based TOC emulation on overwriteable media" ------------------------------------------------------------ Media in state 0014h "DVD-RW sequential recording" are handled like DVD-R. That's what you call "multi-border" and what MMC-5 calls Incremental Streaming feature. 32 kB fixed size packets in a track and session oriented model like with CD-R in mode TAO. You can get DAO by option -dvd-compat or by fast-blanked DVD-RW if the drive does not lie about feature 0021h Incremental Streaming. My Samsung tells it is present although it then fails. Shrug.
