DVD+R and DVD+R DL

From the view of cdrskin they behave much like DVD-R. Each track gets wrapped
into an own session, though.
DVD+R DL appear as extra large DVD+R. cdrskin does not allow to set the address
of the layer break where a reading drive might show some delay while switching
between both media layers.
BD-R are sold unformatted blank. If used without initial formatting then the
drive is supposed to format them to maximum payload size with no Defect
Management (see also above with BD-RE).
If Defect Management is desired then BD-R need to be formatted before the
first attempt to write a session to them.
blank=format_if_needed will detect the situation and eventually apply
default sized Defect Management formatting.
blank=format_defectmgt_* will apply non-default parameters to formatting.
