One more little addition about -RW (and the last I think):
DVD-RW formatted into Sequential mode is seen as "0" (blank) if empty or "2"
(complete) if holds any data, needs no intervention here, works just like CD-RW
DVD-RW in Restricted Overwrite mode that's been written to, blanked or not is
"2" (complete) until a new (lenghty) format is applied (similar to DVD+RW), ok
after the committed patch
and what I didn't test previously:
Fresh unwrapped DVD-Rw or formatted into Restricted Overwrite mode is
"1" (appendable) fix it to "0" (blank):
/* exclude plain CDROM, some fake cdroms return 0 for "blank" media
here */
if (!cd_media_cd_rom && (header[2] & 3) < 4)
cd_media_state = media_status[header[2] & 3];
+
+ /* fresh dvd-rw in restricted overwite mode is "appendable", change it
to "blank" to satisfy udev */
+ if (cd_media_dvd_rw && (header[2] & 3) == 1)
+ cd_media_state = media_status[0];
/* DVD+RW discs once formatted are always "complete", DVD-RAM
are "other" or "complete" if the disc is write protected */
Without the patch it gets undetected and is unusable in Brasero
