You should use the alternate syntax which takes a pre-mastered DVD image:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=/usr/local/dvds/whereisGod1.iso

Notice how above it's trying to run mkisofs to create the image.
You've supposedly already got the image, so no need to master.

See '18.7.3 Burning Data DVDs'.
