There are two approaches for writing to sequential DVD-R[W]: DAO and
Incremental. Not all media and drives offer Incremental which allows multi-
session as with CD media.
Incremental. Not all media and drives offer Incremental which allows
multi-session as with CD media and does not demand a predicted track size.
DAO seems to be the older method. It allows only one single session and
track and it demands an exactly predicted track size.

See TAO Multi-Session CD Cookbook for details about blanking.
Different from CD it seems unwise to use minimal blanking (type 001b) because
my two DVD drives do not offer the Incremental Streaming feature 0021h with
DVD-RW which have been treated this way. cdrecord and cdrskin even stall when
examining these media (exact command and cause is still to be determined).
After minimal blanking (type 001b) DVD-RW my two drives do not offer the
Incremental Streaming feature 0021h the media any more. Full blanking (000b)
brings back this feature.

DAO is the mode prescribed by feature 002Fh.
growisofs is_dao in page 05h sets Write Type to 2 "SAO". It is accompanied
by dvd_compat. Thus Multi-session is set to 0.
DAO is the mode described by feature 002Fh. This feature also gives information
about capabilities for Burnfree (BUF), Test Write and DVD-RW.

Experiments with growisofs showed that the track size needs to be predicted
and may not be exceeded during the write process. (growisofs ran into SCSI
errors with piped non-ISO-9660 images and with piped ISO-9660 which have
trailing data.)
Speed can be influenced by B6h SET STREAMING , speed capabilities can be
inquired by ACh GET PERFORMANCE. It is advised to set only speeds and sizes
which are returned by ACh.
