Sadly, my first writing failed with the following errors. It's a double layer disc. There goes HK$30 :(
:-[ WRITE@LBA=cd630h failed with SK=3h/ASC=02h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error
:-( write failed: Input/output error

There are actually directly from the man page.

This is actually directly from the man page.
Linux DVD Writing
I'll only focus on growisofs although one will find graphical tools like K3B much more flexible.
Write a pre-mastered iso image
# Make sure you got the device name right
cdrecord --devices
# Following option disables the disc from further writing, which makes sense for iso burning
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=filename.iso
Writing files to dvd
This is actually directly from the man page.
# Write data for the first time
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/file
# Adding more files to the disc
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files
# Make sure to use the same options for both initial burning and when appending data.
# To finalize the multisession DVD maintaining maximum compatibility:
growisofs -M /dev/dvd=/dev/zero
