During development of libburn i use re-writeable
media where possible.
CD-RW can behave like CD-R, DVD-RW like DVD-R.
For DVD+R you will have to risk one-time
media. But they are quite harmless in their behavior
and their write procedure is well described in MMC
specs. (MMC-5 4.3.6.2 Recording on DVD+R ,
4.3.6.2.2 The Host's Perspective).
BD-R seem to be much like DVD+R. (Does anybody want
to donate media and testing time ?)
Be ready to reboot after the drive got stuck with
a bad SCSI command sequence.
The best testing device is an USB attached drive
which can be reset by power off independently of the
running system.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
