I must have been drunk! I had also an additional option `-v' on the command-line. Without this option it works.

And I also tried with -dvd-compat. I also tried on NetBSD and OpenBSD. I got the same message: growisofs: no mkisofs options are permitted with =, aborting... When I tried on Linux it worked.

And according to questions on freebsd-questions@,, the main problem is the fact no one read the "existing" documentation; For example, a recent thread about DVD burning speed/DMA issue... with the solution documented in many places... However I can understand your point of view regarding the fact the manual page do not even mention briefly the "invisible" options. A volunteer should write a patch against the manual page and send it to Andy.

Looking through the code, this error message seems to mean that growisofs found a parameter that it doesn't recognize and assumes you mean to pass it to mkisofs. I'd double check the spelling of all the options. Maybe retype the command to make sure there aren't any invisible control characters that are somehow getting interpreted as options. If none of that works, try adding --quiet to the command line. My quick look through the code suggests this might work (Though my confidence of that is low). If it does work, I'd really like to hear it though.

growisofs: no mkisofs options are permitted with =, aborting
