Your drive's firmware says it can't write that media. Either the
firmware is buggy, the firmware isn't adjusted to this particular
media, or the media is faulty. Either way the error is generated by the
drive and there's nothing cdrecord (or any other burning program) can
do about it. Try some decent media first.
