I'm not sure it's safe to use cdrecord for DVDs. Anyway, I
always wqas lucky using growisofs (from port dvd+rw-tools).
This is the command:
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=foo.iso
You can replace /dev/dvd with the ATAPICAM device refering
to your DVD recorder, usually something like /dev/cd0. The
command
# camcontrol devlist
shows you the device name (löok for the SCSI ID 1,0,0 as
from your cdrecord example).

In "man growisofs" I found this:
Note that DVD+RW re-formatting procedure does not
substitute for blanking. If you want to nullify
the media, e.g. for privacy reasons, do it
explicitly with 'growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/zero'.
This should work, or try the respective cdrecord blank=
command (all or fast).
