Growisofs can burn iso images or use mkisofs internally to burn
datafiles directly to the DVD-/+R.  In the "Examples" section
of the growisofs man page, you will find the following:

"To master and burn an ISO9660 volume with Joliet and Rock-Ridge
extensions on a DVD:
            growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files

To append more data to same DVD:
            growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files"

"To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:
            growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso"
