6.4 Format DVD-RW to avoid need for blanking before re-use
==========================================================
$ xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=format_overwrite -eject
This command may also be used to format BD-R media before first use,
in order to enable handling of write errors. Several hundred MB of
spare blocks will be reserved and write runs on such media will perform
with less than half nominal speed.
