Comment 13 for bug 226650

Did you read the original bug report? It seems that
you have been too fast....

The original bug report is related to
problems writing CD-RWs and growisofs does
not write CD-RWs.

Growisofs was written to support DVDs, cdrecord
writes any type of optical media. Growisofs is not
a solution for the problems that are caused by the
fact that Ubuntu distributes a broken fork instead
of the original cdrtools.

Also note that in case you are interested in DVDs and
even if you use growisofs instead cdrecord you would
still need mkisofs. If you use genisoimage from the fork
instead of using the original mkisofs, you will become
a victim of the bugs in genisoimage.
