You're right, getting overal performance returns the correct value for +RW.

Sorry, I misread something. I meant the 'current write speed' from the page2A.

Well, I have no working dvd-R handy, so I can't fully confirm that. However, 
after having issued the command with -speed=1 which fails, dvd+rw-mediainfo 
says current write speed is 1 and overall performance is 4. And then when 
running growisofs, it says it's trying to write at speed 4. I need to read 
some specs before I can understand further how it works...
