I have tried burning a dvd+rw on my dvd+/- unit. But I've used
"dvd+rw-format -blank" on a dvd-rw. This "minimally" blanks the
dvd (there's also an option for -blank=full). I don't know if
such a procedure shortens the life of the dvd or if it's even
necessary. Maybe you can also force DAO using -dvd-compat
-dvd-compat (the 2x is not a typo).
