"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.

This means they need option -multi to stay appendable, need to be blanked
to be writeable from start, return useable info with -toc and -msinfo,

Without "Incremental Streaming" offered by the drive, they are regarded as
unsuitable media for now.
Without "Incremental Streaming" offered by the drive, only write mode DAO is
available with sequential DVD-RW. It only works with blank media, allows only
one single track, no -multi, and demands a fixely predicted track size.

This formatting lasts as long as writing a full DVD. It includes writing of

De-formatting options are available to make overwriteable DVD-RW sequential:
blank=deformat_sequential performs thorough blanking of all states of DVD-RW.
blank=all and blank=fast perform the same thorough blanking, but refuse to do
this with overwriteable DVD-RW, thus preserving their formatting. The specs
allow minimal blanking but the resulting media on my drives offer no
Incremental Streaming afterwards. So even blank=fast will do full blanking.
Incremental Streaming afterwards. So blank=fast will do full blanking.
blank=deformat_sequential_quickest is faster but might yield DAO-only media.
