According to the man page for wodim - formatting is not supported for DVD-RW.
You might take a look at growisofs and dvd+rw-format. The latter command, in
spite of the name, can deal with DVD-RW media.
It is possible that the optical drive in your computer does not support DVD-RW
media. The only way I know of to find what media are supported is to use K3B.
If you go to Settings - Devices, you should get a list of readable and
writable media for each device.
