I tried using cdrecord and it basically errored out sayng "this need
to be formatted. I'm going to do it" but then it failed (on the list I
read cdrecord will be updated to be able to format BD-RE media soon).
So I formatted with dvd+rw-format and then cdrecord started writing to
it.
dvd+rw-format formatted it without complaining, if I retry now it says
it's already formatted and I need to use lengthly complete formatting
using -format=full (which I didn't use the 1st time)
The media is the one included with the burner; I will receive
different media in a few days.
This is the diff between output of dvd+rw-mediainfo with new media and
after I formatted it:
