Cdrecord introduced DVD support in February/March 1998, so there is 14 years of
verified DVD support in cdrecord.

wodim started with the cdrecord version from September 2004, removed the DVD 
support code and replaced it with something half baken. Since May 6th 2007, 
there was no development activity on "wodim" besides from typo-corrections.

I recommend to use the actively maintained original cdrtools instead of the 
dead "fork".
