If i get the code of dvd+rw-format.cpp 0.7.1 right then you are not supposed to use option -ssa together with profile 0x41. You are supposed to use option -force. At other spots in the code i find traces that ssa is well expected, though. Your code change should have had a chance for success. > sr0: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 > Deferred sr00:00: sense key Medium Error > Additional sense indicates Format command failed This does not look as if it was from dvd+tools but rather from the kernel. Do you see that in a log file or does it appear with the format run on terminal ? Such an occasion would occur if the FORMAT command was sent with IMMED bit for asynchronous work. A TEST UNIT READY command which is used to watch progress then delivers the error message of the asynchronous FORMAT. As far as i can see the format descriptor gets the right format type 0x32 for BD-R. Can it be that the BD-R was already treated with a format command previously ? MMC-5 4.5.3.5 "BD-R Recording Models" says " Once the recording mode has been established, it is not changeable."
