Can it be you mean blank=as_needed ? This applies default formatting to unformatted BD-RE. > Now cdrskin will automatically format a blank BD-RE, but it's doing a full > format (ie: more than 1 hour for a 2x BD-RE), while dvd+rw-format would do a > quick (a few minutes if I remember correctly) format, just enough to get it > going. Probably the difference is in the Sub-type field of the FORMAT UNIT command. dvd+rw-format uses type 2 for "-format=full" and type 3 else. The matching cdrskin blank type of cdrskin for Sub-type 2 would be blank=format_defectmgt_cert_off This formats to default size. You may chose other format sizes by a further blank= option. Like: blank=format_defectmgt_cert_off blank=format_defectmgt_payload_23610m or blank=format_defectmgt_cert_off blank=format_by_index_2 The latter refers to the idx numbers as listed by $ cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr3 --list_formats ... BD Spare Area: 0 blocks consumed, 393216 blocks available Format idx 0 : 00h , 11826176s , 23098.0 MiB Format idx 1 : 01h , 11564032s , 22586.0 MiB Format idx 2 : 30h , 11826176s , 23098.0 MiB Format idx 3 : 30h , 11564032s , 22586.0 MiB Format idx 4 : 30h , 12088320s , 23610.0 MiB Format idx 5 : 31h , 12219392s , 23866.0 MiB format_defectmgt_payload_... can be chosen quite freely. But extreme wishes might lead to rejection of the FORMAT UNIT command by the drive. > Should I try > format=format_if_needed > instead? For BD-RW this has the same effect as "as_needed". It will make a difference with CD-RW (no action rather than blanking), with DVD-RW (formatting rather than blanking), or unused BD-R (formatting rather than no action).
