One nice thing in new CentOS would be perhaps growisofs version 7, which is much better in my configuration (actually I took source RPM from Fedora Core 6 and recompiled on CentOS 4.4) - it has double buffering giving consistent recording speed and even supports setting recording speed for DVD+R(W), something not possible in version 6 of growisofs.

I could've sworn CentOS has 5.4.something.

I was sort-of forced to do that; I have a Pioneer DVD burner which was not finalising properly. The problem's fixed, it seems, in 6.x so I grabbed the latest src.rpm to hand and built it.

Mercifully, building it proved trivial.
