Don't use -scanbus with wodim. It's an entirely broken concept that
comes from the idea that (a) everything is a SCSI device, and (b)
everything is mapped as a single bus/device/lun address, which just
isn't true any more.
For reference, the options I usually use with wodim are:
$ wodim dev=/dev/sda -v -J -R -eject disk-image.iso

You need to prepare the disk image first, with mkisofs (for CDs) or
growisofs, and then write that image to the disk with wodim.

I use growisofs, which is a command-line tool for creating DVD
filesystems and writing DVDs:
$ growisofs -Z /dev/sda -J -joliet-long -speed=4 -R /path/to/dir
That will write the contents of the given directory as the root
directory of the DVD.
