Note that I haven't recorded any DVD's yet, but:

  - Is burncd(8) not good enough?
  - If not, why?

Soren Schmidt, who maintains burncd, can probably fix any problems you
have with it, if you submit a bug report explaining why it doesn't work
for you.

I use growisofs to burn database backup files to DVD-R on a regular
basis.  The port name, dvd+rw-tools, is a little misleading in this
regard.

i'n now writing DVD-R from image with it, now 800MB and still going.
anyway it can't record DVD-R from pipe, and can't have extra RAM buffer.

dvdrecord CAN write from pipe in -dao mode if size is entered in options

i were using that script:

mkisofs -rq -jcharset iso8859-2 . 2/dev/null| \
 dvdrecord $* -v tsize=`mkisofs -rq -jcharset iso8859-2 --print-size .`x2k \
 -delay=5 driveropts=burnfree -dao -

to write directly files in dao mode to DVD-R.

now i'm unable to do it.

I may be very wrong, but the manpage in CURRENT (and 6.0-RELEASE) says,
among other things:

 dvdrw Set the write mode to write a DVD+RW from the following
   image.  DVDs only have one track.

I'll have to test it and see how things work.  A friend whom I asked
just a few minutes ago says that he's only ever used growisofs for
recording DVDs.

On burners which do not have buffer-underrun correction capabilities (ie,

pipe it to the burning process can result in coasters.  YMMV, but I prefer to
create the .ISO image seperately, and confirm it contains what I think it should
contain seperately, before trying to burn it.

However, there's room for more tools in ports, so if you like dvdrecord enough
to want to use it under FreeBSD, why not port it yourself?

Growisofs can burn iso images or use mkisofs internally to burn
datafiles directly to the DVD-/+R.  In the Examples section
of the growisofs man page, you will find the following:

To master and burn an ISO9660 volume with Joliet and Rock-Ridge
extensions on a DVD:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files

To append more data to same DVD:
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files

To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

On decent hardware, there shouldn't be a problem, especially if your burner can
handle underruns.  However, I get bug reports from people using older burners
and slow drives, people using USB burners at USB-1 speeds, and other
circumstances which are somewhat marginal.

As others have said, you can have growisofs invoke mkisofs on your behalf to
burn a filesystem tree directly without creating a seperate .ISO file as an
intermediate step.  If you want to do so in DAO mode, one can use the
(undocumented) flag: -use-the-force-luke=dao.

 However, there's room for more tools in ports, so if you like
 dvdrecord enough to want to use it under FreeBSD, why not port it yourself?

 because i'm asking why it wasn't first - i'm sure that there are many

dvd+rw-tools was added to ports back in 2003, and depended on the mkisofs port
(aka cdrtools).  Apparently, dvdrecord is a fork of cdrtools, but I don't know
which one appeared first.

There's also burncd by Soren, which works fine for CD-R/RW burning, but doesn't
do DVD-burning especially well.  YMMV.
