With the NEC and unsupported media, an error message indicating
that fact (no support for medium in drive) showed up - as you
can see, this time no such error is shown. And at least one
of the media I tried even is listed explicitly at the Plextor
compatible media compilation. Or in other words - I do not think
the problem is that the drive does not like the disc.
Does the following not tell you anything?
:-[ LBA=0h, SENSE KEY=5h/ASC=21h/ASCQ=02h ]
Additionally tried Princo now - here, the drive gets locked up
showing status with
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid .. scsi0, channel 0
id 0, lun 0 Start/Stop Unit 00 00 00 03 00
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Princo also is listed as compatible..
Will try some quality brand in the future.

Just at the beginning means that I hit Ctrl-C as soon as I saw
the "current write speed = 4x" line (maybe 2s after that - silly
action, no doubt).
It then took quite some time until I got back the prompt, and
the disc had already been written to in some way:
dvd+rw-mediainfo:

By the way, I do not get any medium atip info for DVD+R
(unlike for DVD-R, where something like NANYA is shown).
mediainfo-output looks identical for blank disc in all
lines above "READ DISC INFORMATION".
Am not quite sure if this was the same with the NEC.
All in all, Plextor does not seem to be any better when it
comes to Linux. They link to Joerg Schillings pxupdate, but
this does not recognize the drive. And the firmware is
packed into an exe. Shame on you, Mr. Bu.. aeh, Plextor,
shame on you..
