@ -414,6 +414,21 @@ from the drive and last several minutes. Depending on mutual compatibility of
drive and media, formatting can yield unusable media. It seems that those die
too on blanking by cdrecord or dvd+rw-format. Perils of DVD-RW, i fear.
There are three formatting variants with cdrskin currently:
blank=format_overwrite uses "DVD-RW Quick" formatting (MMC-type 15h)
and writes a first session of 128 MB. This leads to media which are expandable
and random addressable by cdrskin.
blank=format_overwrite_quickest uses "DVD-RW Quick" formatting (type 15h) too
but leaves the media in "intermediate" state. One may only write sequentially
to such a DVD. This restriction is lifted after the first write session.
blank=format_overwrite_full uses preferrably "DVD-RW Full Format" (type 10h)
and writes a single 32 kB block to address 0 (in case only type 15h is
available). This formatting lasts as long as writing a full DVD but seems
to yield best quality.
