Blu-rays are exceedingly funky. There is total space, then there is "formatted
space", where there is space reserved for the hardware to try writing
a new copy of a sector that failed. A lot of writer software turns on
the formatted mode by default. I went through a lot of this getting my
isopack software to write to blu-ray, and wrote up some of it here:

Of course I also had a batch of media that would always fail around
97, 98%. The new media I got is working fine.
Well I installed the "real" cdrtools cdrecord and used dconf to change the
plugin priority of cdrecord in brasero but it was still a no go.
Ended up using cdrecord directly and it successfully burned my UDF image that
growisofs failed on. YAY!
I've also got an idea that MIGHT get cdrtools into Fedora but I'm not going to
hold my breath. As a last ditch effort if that doesn't work I'm going to go
ahead and see if I can get it into RPM nonfree. I've been doing a TON of reading
on the subject I understand the license (and personality) issues but at the end
of the day cdrkit is crap and cdrtools works.
Actually my big complaint is that Fedora took the name(s) of programs which have
been continuously maintained for about 20 years (I first used it when a CD
burner was a SCSI device and the fast one did 2X). But his software works! I
really wish he had trademarked the names of the programs, I think offering a
knock-off under the same name is like one of the $50 Rolex watches. Fedora
prides themselves on having only open source software, but the ethics of
including an ersatz hack under the original, still maintained, name is ethically
murky. They could have modified every package to call wooden instead.
So please, if you can get it into RPMfusion or similar, that would be great.It
would give us a more functional alternative.
Note that I'm surprised that growisofs didn't work to burn the data once you put
it in an image file, though. You might join the burning mailing list and discuss
with the authors and maintainers. On occasion my problems have been user error,
the documentation and examples of some features are NOT up the quality of the code.
