That's a RESERVE TRACK command with 0x000C6540 = 812352 blocks.
Hard to say why it fails.

wodim option -V would bring more insight into the SCSI command
sequence that preceeds the failed command.
(If you got a blank 20 cent media left.)


What do you get from the failed DVD+R DL when executing again
  dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr1

Well, no data were written and thus none can be read.

So far so good. The burn program did its job. But did drive and media ?

After mounting ithe DVD (e.g. at /mnt) can you read all data file content
without any i/o error message ?
E.g. by :

  tar cf - /mnt | wc -c

This confirms my own assessment that growisofs or libburn are the tools
to use for DVD multi-session.

Whether cdrecord is suitable for multi-session on DVD-R and DVD+R would
still have to be evaluated. It will hardly do multi-session on DVD+RW,
DVD-RAM, or formatted DVD-RW.


Have a nice day :)
