It looks as if you are exploring capabilities here, rather than trying 
to save some precious recording, but if you have an .iso image there are 
other tools that would probably do that job.  I haven't used rewritable 
disks, but I use k3b;  that offers burn-and-verify, and I also use 
implantisomd5.  I suppose it's overkill, and it takes a bit longer, but 
it works.  I've had trouble with 'own-brand' blanks, though.
