cdrecord-prodvd is a commercial spinoff that tries to get you to purchase a 
license to be able to burn DVDs larger than 1 GB in size.  I say, F*T*!  
Learn the command for growisofs, it has never failed me.  K3B is a 
convenient frontend for when I don't want to hit up a man page or --help.

k3b has a nice penguin.

Last time I checked, growisofs had features unsupported by k3b.
