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").

Congrats to the success.
It would be really interesting to see whether xorriso with its diagnostic
messages can tell anything enlightening about the problem with the other
DVD+RW media.
Since DVD+RW are re-usable, it would be no waste of media if you try in
a shell terminal with appropriate path texts in "drive" and "image":
drive=/dev/sr0
image=...path.to.the.image.file...
xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev="$drive" fs=16m -eject "$image" 2>&1 | tee -i
/tmp/xorriso.log
however, if the disk is re-inserted and:
gene@coyote:~/AppImages$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1
xorriso 1.5.4 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr1'
Media current: DVD+RW
Media status : is blank
Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 4483m free
gene@coyote:~/AppImages$
Something definitely aglay with that disk. See line 190 of the log.
The messages will show up in the terminal window and also be copied to
the file /tmp/xorriso.log .
This file would be interesting for me to see. So if you can send it to
me in private i will inspect it for clues and report them to this mailing
list.
If the run fails and stays obscure, then we could even watch the SCSI
command dialog of libburn and the drive by help of an additional option
in the xorriso run. This would become very verbose.
If the run is successful, then the GUI programs are thinking too much
about things which they should better leave to their burn backends.
In 2 different dvd writers in this machine,
If you do not know which one is /dev/sr0 and which is /dev/sr1, then
you may do
xorriso -devices
which will tell vendor and model of the drives, like:
0 -dev '/dev/sr0' rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'BDDVDRW GGC-H20L'
1 -dev '/dev/sr1' rwrw-- : 'ASUS ' 'BW-16D1HT'
("HL-DT-ST" = "Hitachi-LG Data Storage" drives are usually labeled "LG".
If this does not give the decisive clue, insert the medium into the
desired drive while having the other drive empty, and do
xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0
xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1
The one with the DVD+RW is supposed to report on stderr:
...
Media current: DVD+RW
...
whereas the empty drive will report:
...
Media current: is not recognizable
...
Have a nice day :)
