My experience with cdrecord is with the version included with Slackware. I have found that growisofs and cdrecord differ significantly for 16x DVD recording. For most brands of blank, cdrecord burns slower and less reliably than growisofs. For 8x blanks and slower I never had any problems with cdrecord. cdrecord recognizes a wider variety of CD blanks than growisofs, so I never use cdrecord to write CDs. growisofs can write +RW blanks which (my) cdrecord cannot. I don't think either can write to DVD-RAM.
