It does this automatically before writing begins. BD-R formatting does
not last long. Other than with BD-RE the drive cannot write and checkread
all blocks just for a test.
growisofs_mmc.cpp emits a message in function bd_r_format()
fprintf (stderr,"%s: pre-formatting blank BD-R for %.1fGB...\n",
ioctl_device,(f[0]<<24|f[1]<<16|f[2]<<8|f[3])*2048.0/1e9);
This undocumented growisofs option can suppress BD-R formatting:
-use-the-force-luke=spare=none

And i am too thrifty. Shame on me. My only excuse is the usual reason
that i am an unpaid volunteer. (This saves me from implementing UDF, too.)
I just had a look at the market in germany:
My usual hardware provider wants 37.85 EUR for 5 pieces Verbatim 100 GB,
or 25.63 EUR for 5 x 50 GB. But there is some hope: 25 x 50 GB no-name
for 44.80. 50 x 25 GB single-layer Verbatim are at sale for 26.94.
So double-layer is now just twice as expensive per GB.
Ridiculous: 5 x 100 GB Verbatim M-Disc for 71.70.
Have a nice day :)
