growisofs & DVD-R : "media is not formatted or unsupported"
I've been using growisofs for some months, and I've been
quite happy, thanks Andy!
During those months, I found out that my stand-alone DVD-player
(Cyber Home CH-DVD 402) is not able to play DVD+R media, but it is
able to play DVD-R media (and DVD-RW, DVD+RW). The DVD+R media
I burn plays happily in the stand-alone DVD-player of a friend of
mine, but not in mine, even though I think I tried everything Andy
suggests on his help page (including -dvd-video).
For some reason, DVD-R media seems to be less available and
more expensive in this neighborhood than DVD+R.
This is why I bought this media "Sentinel DVD-R4.7".
When I try to burn something it tells me (even with -speed=1):
:-[ LBA=0h, SENSE KEY=5h/ASC=30h/ASCQ=05h ]
:-[ media is not formatted or unsupported ]
:-( write failed: Invalid argument
Is there something else I could try to get growisofs working
with this media?
Or should I try cdrecord-ProDVD? According to Andy's page it
uses a different strategy (Disk-at-once) to write...
Or should I try some software under windows? Which one?
Or is it my burner, which is uncompatible with this media?
Here is the mediainfo:

And finally a tricky (?) one: Did I actually burn something to this media,
or is it completely empty?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Ivan
