Why don't you just use a recent cdrecord version?

cdrecord includes full support for DVD+R/DL (including automated and manual 
layer breask setup - the latter is needed for DVD-Video) and 
basic support for DVD-R/DL since a year.

Install the "cdrecord" binary as /usr/bin/cdrecord.bin

I also recommend to replace mkisofs and the other programs. Mkisofs now has a 
lot more features and foxed a lot of bugs.


cdrw is not needed on Solaris and it is questionable whether the feature you
like will appear in cdrw soon.

cdrw is a strange program on Solaris. It has been started as CD only 
program around 2002 - 4 years after cdrecord did introduce DVD writing support.
At the time cdrw was added to Solaris, they also added mkisofs but not cdrecord
although cdecord and mkisofs are in the same source distribution tar ball.

cdrw added DVD write support for Solaris 10 after cdrecord went into Solaris.

Although Sun seems to be unable to put the needed effort in e.g. "pcfs", time 
and money was put into cdrw. I would be interested to know the background....

Another strange thing: Sun is in the board of directors of the Blu Ray group
but there are no known Sun activities related to Blu Ray.
