You must NOT use cdrwtool to format DVD! It's only for CD-RW media (as the name implies). The procedure is this: 1) If you haven't already used a DVD media (it's virgin) then you must format with: sudo dvd+rw-format /dev/$YOURDVDBURNER 2) Put a udf filesystem into your media with: sudo mkudffs --spartable=2 --media-type=cdrw /dev/$YOURDVDBURNER
