[Pkg-opt-media-team] Bug#724964: growisofs: fails to burn DVD-RW media with error "SK=5h/ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK"

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: growisofs
Version: 7.1-10
Severity: important

I've blanked a DVD-RW with:

$ dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/sr0
* BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro at fy.chalmers.se>, version 7.1.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
* blanking 0.0-

which terminated after 10 minutes with no errors.
Then I tried to burn the DVD, but it failed:

$ growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -R -J -udf -V Archives-201309 backup
Executing 'genisoimage -R -J -udf -V Archives-201309 backup | builtin_dd of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'
