[Bug 1654778] [NEW] growisofs: INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT error with DVD-Rs

[Polly]

Public bug reported:

I can't write data files to a DVD-R disk with growisofs:

> growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -r -J /home/XXX/kdenlive/growfs
Executing 'genisoimage -r -J /home/XXX/kdenlive/growfs | builtin_dd of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'

:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=2h/CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT]: Wrong medium type
/dev/sr0: "Current Write Speed" is 4.1x1352KBps.
:-[ WRITE at LBA=0h failed with SK=2h/CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT]: Wrong medium type
:-( media is not formatted or unsupported.
:-( write failed: Wrong medium type

I have tried multiple disks in case it's just bad media, but I get this
error every time. The same command works fine in the same burner
hardware with DVD+RW media.

Lsb_release output:

The DVD-R media are Maxells, as are the DVD+RWs.
