This is not correct.....

You are missunderstanding things: The track recording direction is defined by the pressed pree-groove and cannot be changed. If you are copying DVDs, you need to call cdrecord -v -atip or similar in order to retrieve the layerbreak value of the original disk. This value needs to be given with the driveropts=layerbreak=xxx option when writing DVD+R/DL. If someone can tell me how to read the layerbreak value from the IFO file, this coule be done automatically....
