What app is everyone using to write dvd's today?
I use my own program xorriso, mostly in scripts as the list of arguments
can become lengthy.
If you describe what you want to do then i could describe what i would do.
xfburn claims burn mode isn't implemented yet,
Sounds like

Proposed remedy is to click at the button with the circular arrow beneath
a text field which tells the medium type (in that case "DVD+R").
interesting & thank you, it refused to write a staples brand dvd+rw, it
went thru the motions of formating the disk several times, then didn't
recognize the disk even if ejected and reinserted, but is working just
as expected on a virgin Sony brand dvd+rw. Didn't have to do anything
special other than select the drive. There's two in this machine, a sata
half height, and a skinny usb portable on a too short cable. So now I
have a copy on two different media. memtest86-64-v7.4 went thru one loop
of my 32Gigs in under 40 minutes w/o any fuss. But after a reboot, the
lag we've been looking for is back. Took me 5+ minutes to navigate my
pictures dir to send a friend a couple gimp smunched snaps of my work,
searching with gimp, I had to wait out the lag for every directory level
shotwell makes. Boring. Re install #31 coming up when I've finished the
current 3d printer rebuild. But now that I know how to boot from usb
I'll put the net-install on a key. Thank you, all.
k3b insists on reformatting a dvd+rw,
In the first few write runs of a DVD+RW life, the drive reports yjay the
medium is partly formatted. A skilled burn program then issues the SCSI
command for background formatting, waits a dozen seconds until a reply
arrives from the drive and then begins to write while formatting goes on.
(Only DVD+RW can be formatted that way.)
but then does not recognize it to burn the image.
Do you have any exact messages which i could search in Debian's K3B
sources ?
( https://sources.debian.org/src/k3b/24.05.2-1/ )
Maybe i can find out what's its woes in terms of drive and medium.
Is there some magic invocation I'm not doing?
So you want to burn an image file to DVD+RW.
I'd do in a shell terminal with appropriate content in variables "drive"
and "image":
drive=/dev/sr0
image=...path.to.the.image.file...
xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev="$drive" fs=16m -eject "$image"
If something goes wrong, there should be error messages which i'd ask you
to copy+paste into a mail to this list or to my mail address if you deem
them unsuitable for public exposure.
Have a nice day :)

You too Tomas.
