I hardly use optical media these days.  But I happen to find an old Philips

telling me I really should be using the dvd+rw-format command.

Perhaps this depends on the types of drive or media. I used 'cdrecord -v 
blank=all' on two different DVD+RW brands and got error outputs similar to the 
op's, whereas the same command erased a CD-RW just fine.
Yes, well the error was....

This drive *OR* media does not support the 'BLANK media' command

Yes, that was cdrecord's output message.
But as I said, the 100 DVD box of Sony dvd/rw media
said loudly "RW".

So, I do not really  know why cdrecord says what it does.
