I thought DVD-ROM disks had more capacity than CDRs and CD-RWs.  If so 
wouldn't this be a probem?  As far as I know there are no switches in 
either mkisofs or mkhybrid to specify the size of the target volume, and 
I know from personal experience both programs will complain if the output 
is larger than about 650Meg.
