If below dvd+rw-mediainfo output is for resulting recording, then I'd
say that it means only one thing: poor media support by your firmware
(or poor media quality).

^ Everything that follows / is kind of
common suffix [same suffixes can be observed from different media
manufacturers]. As far as I understand this suffix is used to pick laser
power from a table in firmware. This means that new suffix might require
a firmware upgrade. And it's first time I observe /0R...

You *might* help to minimize the write speed with -speed=1. Note that
elder versions of growisofs didn't even try to control DVD+R recording
velocity, so you might have to upgrade. Keep in mind that -speed=1
essentially means "pick *lowest* speed among those offered by unit,"
meaning that you can observe that recording will still be performed at
higher velocity.

^^^^^ This is the very reason why I wrote "if
this dvd+rw-mediainfo output is for resulting recording, it means poor
media support or poor media." It looks as if the unit filled the buffer,
but didn't actually managed to record a single sector to the media. A.
