One thing about using "cdrecord -prcap" is that it does not list
any of the +R capabilities of the drive. If it did, it would list
that it does not support them. For example, here is part of the
listing for a DVD-CDRW drive:
Drive capabilities, per MMC-3 page 2A:
Does read CD-R media
Does write CD-R media
Does read CD-RW media
Does write CD-RW media
Does read DVD-ROM media
Does read DVD-R media
Does not write DVD-R media
Does read DVD-RAM media
Does not write DVD-RAM media
Does support test writing
as opposed to a Duel layer DVD-RW drive.
Drive capabilities, per MMC-3 page 2A:
Does read CD-R media
Does write CD-R media
Does read CD-RW media
Does write CD-RW media
Does read DVD-ROM media
Does read DVD-R media
Does write DVD-R media
Does not read DVD-RAM media
Does not write DVD-RAM media
Does support test writing
The drive specs say that it does write DVD+R and DVD_RW media, but
that is not listed by cdrecord.
