dd does not HAVE to know ANYTHING about the layout. The layout is the format of the iso file which was created by the fedora project for f24 desktop release. I am amazed at the lack of technical knowledge on the part of every respondent to this problem.
Who said anything about layout? The problem is that the drive needs to be configured to the right mode and settings and there are extra operations that need to be run before and after the data is written. You complain about the "lack of technical knowledge", but do you have any idea how cdrom drives work and the communication required with them? Try looking at the source code to growisofs or wodim. A brief look at the kernel source code suggests that it doesn't support opening the device for writing unless there's a rewritable medium in the drive, but I didn't look too closely. I've wasted enough time already on this topic...
