It's no big deal, but some command line options require a leading dash,
while others do not. For example, the argumets for speed, driveropts, dev
do not use a leading dash, while v, dao require using a dash.
man cdrecord. man mkisofs.

BTW, thanks for your work developing the cd tools. I have been using them
for years, and they provide an essential toolset for GNU/Linux. I
certainly meant no offense. If these tools were absent from GNU/Linux,
then that would be a serious show-stopper problem for the platform.
Thanks again.
