These lines say it all, see the BLANK command applies to CDs, not to DVD-rw's
("cdrecord --help").
Usually you *format* these media once, then, unlike CDs, you simply overwrite them.
I hardly use optical media these days. But I happen to find an old Philips DVD+RW
disk in a drawer. I used the cdrecord -v blank=all command on it and it worked just fine.
I didn't save the output it created but there was a HINT telling me I really should
be using the dvd+rw-format command.
