Script to burn DVD on the fly?

Hi folks,

One DVD Writer installed on PC

To duplicate Data DVD or DVD Installer I run following steps;

1)
$ dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.iso bs=2048

to create an ISO image

2)
Remove the DVD disc on the tray and insert a blank DVD disc for
burning. Then run;

3)
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

Done

Following command worked for me previously burning CD on the fly;
mkisofs -R -joliet-long -graft-points -hide-rr-moved \
/dir-A/=/path/to/dir-A/ \
/dir-B/=/path/to/dir-B/ \
/dir-C/=/path/to/dir-C/ |\
cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 -v -eject -

Now I'm trying to burn DVD on the fly w/o creating ISO image. I haven't figure out;

- how to modify the command burning CD on the fly for burning DVD

- how to eject the DVD disc automatically after the command at 1) finished.

- how to evoke command at 3) automatically after an blank DVD disc inserted.

Please shed me some light. TIA

B.R.

pkg2du

pkg2du(1M)						  System Administration Commands						pkg2du(1M)

NAME

       pkg2du - convert driver packages to Driver Update format

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/pkg2du [-f] [-v] [-d dir] [-o iso] [-l label]
	    [-r release] pkg [pkg ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  /usr/bin/pkg2du utility takes one or more packages as input and converts them to Driver Update (DU) format. If the -d option is speci-
       fied, the resulting DU directory tree is placed in the directory dir. If the -o option is specified, a Solaris ISO image of the	DU  direc-
       tory  tree is written in the file iso. The ISO image can be burned onto CD/DVD using cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1) (not a SunOS man page) and used
       during Solaris installation.

       At least one of the -d and -o options must be specified. If both are specified, then both an ISO image and a directory tree are generated.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -d dir

	   Directory where the DU directory should be created.

       -o iso

	   Create a Solaris ISO image of the DU directory.

       -f

	   If dir/DU or iso exists, remove it without asking first.

       -l label

	   Label/volume name of the ISO image (if -o option is specified).

       -r release

	   Solaris release number to use. It takes the form of the return from uname -r command, for example, 5.10. If	unspecified,  the  release
	   number of the currently running Solaris is used.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       pkg [pkg...]

	   One or more packages to be converted to DU format.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Creating a DU CD/DVD

       The following commands create a DU CD or DVD containing packages SUNWfoo and SUNWbar.

	 # /usr/bin/pkg2du -r 5.10 -o my.iso SUNWfoo SUNWbar
	 # /usr/bin/cdrw -i my.iso
