It may be that "dd" could write to special preformatted discs and possibly
with hardware and media that would work together by default. I don't think
it has ever been a fully supported method.
I really don't understand why some people insist on using dd when there
are easy to use *command line* programs that handle the quirks of random
cd drives. It's way better now, but I remember when cd/dvd drives
really did have weird quirks and it was "fun" trying to find the right
parameters to get a successful write.
Look what this guy found out in Nov 2015.

Somewhere at the bottom find an example of writing to /dev/sr0 with "dd"
after taking several hurdles.
And when you get to the bottom, you find out that he really doesn't
understand how dd works with his discussion about block sizes...
