[Bug 257963] [NEW] dvd+rw-format -force=full -ssa=default /dev/foo fails with DVD-RAM

[Arne Steffens]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dvd+rw-tools

using 
-Ubuntu 8.04.1
-dvd+rw-tools-7.0-9ubuntu1
-nec 4571 and pioneer 215bk drives
-two verbatim dvd-ram 3x media

I can not successfully format this media using dvd+rw-tools. The formatting process starts without any warning. At random progress (from 16% to 95% in about 7 runs) I hear the drive spinning louder, dvd+rw-format continues to display some further progress (2-3 per thousands) and than aborts without any error or warning.
The media has no visible scratches, fingerprints etc.

Using Windows XP and the Panasonic driver the media formats without any
warning or problems and can be used afterwards.
