If you are trying to create the DVD file system, you want to use
something like mkiso.
I've never used cdrwtool, but based on the name I would think it is
used to send the commands to a disc burner to actually burn the disk -
but it would need the data to burn, such as an iso file created by
something like mkiso.
Hmm. That makes sense. It uses libburnia libraries I believe. xorrecord
and dvd+rw-format don't work either.
