DVD-RW
DVD-RW are usable if formatted to state "Restricted Overwrite". They then
behave much like DVD+RW. See above.
DVD-RW in state "Sequential" have first to be formatted by
cdrskin dev=... -v blank=format_overwrite
"Sequential" is the state of unused media and of media previously blanked
or written by cdrecord. dvd+rw-format -blank can also achieve this state.
(Command dvd+rw-format -force can achieve "Restricted Overwrite".)
Formatting or first use of freshly formatted DVD-RW can produce unusual noises
from the drive and last several minutes. Depending on mutual compatibility of
drive and media, formatting can yield unusable media. I finally always got
them revived again by help of: cdrecord-2.01.01a23 dev=... -v blank=fast
After some tries, they got converted into state "Sequential" from where a
new try could be made to get them reliably into state "Restricted Overwrite".
(A similar sequential blank feature with cdrskin is still to come.)
