Be careful wodim comes with a fork from a very outdated mkisofs and this
fork if sull of bugs. If you like to create compatible media, I recommend to 
use the original software cdrtools that is well maintained and did even 
add many new features during the last 5 years. "genisoimage" has been reported 
to create unplayable video media. "genisoimage" does not support files > 4 GB,
it does not support hard links with Rock Ridge, it does not support symlinks and
other file types with UDF and it does not support UTF-8 file names correctly.

A strong reason for using the original software.

Did you try cdrecord (the real cdrecord from 
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/)?

Note that although many people believe that cdrtdao is the right way to go, cdrecord
has better CUE/BIN support than cdrdao. Cdrecord e.g. in contrary to cdrdao supports to 
write SVCDs in raw mode which is the only way that works with Pioneer drives (this also 
applies to TEAC and Plextor as they just OEM Pioner drives.).
