Hi, > added you into footer as "consultant"
Then i have to work a bit more to deserve the title. > dvd+rw-format [...] allows to [...] blank already > written DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM media. Blanking in the meaning of MMC applies only to DVD-RW. The man page advises growisofs or dd for erasing data on BD-RE, DVD+RW, DVD-RW or DVD-RAM. > It is not possible to format CD-RW by dvd+rw-format, > you can use cdrskin, xorriso or wodim utility instead, see > section EXAMPLES. That's for blanking CD-RW, not for formatting. UDF tools has a program cdrwtool which can format CD-RW. Its man page advises cdrwtool -d /dev/cdrom -q This seems to include creation of an UDF filesystem, which one could later erase like with DVD-RAM. > -blank[=full] > [...] > Blanking is used automatically in case of BD and > DVD+RW media. I fail to understand this statement. Neither BD-R, nor BD-RE, nor DVD+RW can be blanked. One can overwrite data on BD-RE and DVD+RW. Rather not on BD-R. (Well, one can by POW but the "orphanage" would get an overrun if this is done with gigabytes of data.) > consulted by Thomass Schmitt <scdbac...@gmx.net>.
