If pathspecs are given and if no output file was chosen before or during the
"mkisofs" option list, then standard output (-outdev "-") will get into effect.
If -o points to a regular file, then it will be truncated to 0 bytes
when finally writing begins. This truncation does not happen if the drive
is chosen by xorriso options before or after -as mkisofs.
Directories and symbolic links are no valid -o targets.

One may quit mkisofs emulation by argument "--" and make
use of all xorriso commands. growisofs dislikes options which
start with "-o" but -outdev must be set to "-".
So use "outdev" instead:

growisofs has excellent burn capabilities with DVD and BD.
It does not emulate session history on overwriteable media, though.
