The original example is on
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/

  dumpsomething | growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=/dev/fd/0

I once expressed my discomfort with "/dev/fd/0" because it
is not always available and looks much like "/dev/fd0".
Andy pointed me to "/proc/self/fd/0".

So this burns 100 MB of zeros on the fly to DVD+RW,
DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite, blank DVD-RW Sequential,
blank DVD[+-]R :

  burner="/dev/sr0"
  # burner="/dev/hdc"
  dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 | \
  growisofs -use-the-force-luke -use-the-force-luke=noload \
            -Z "$burner"=/proc/self/fd/0

( dvd+rw-format -blank=full blanks DVD-RW to Sequential
  dvd+rw-format -force      makes DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite )

scdbackups typical usage is

  formatter | checksummer | growisofs_wrapper

The wrapper is a script which translates some cdrecord
options into gestures of growisofs, dvd+rw-mediainfo and
dvd+rw-format.


Have a nice day :)
