My Centos 6 wodim tell me that it can only format DVD+RW.
I have DVD-RWs.
Even when I format a DVD-RW on my standalone DVD recorder,
wodim still will not write to it.
Is there a centos-6-useable mechanism
for formatting and writing DVD-RWs?
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.

potentially stupid question here: Why would one format a cd/dvd?
I've never had to do that, I just write to 'em.
for what purpose or need would one format one?
In order to delete something that you had previously written to it?
