I have few DVD-RAM disks and when using udftools, specifically



sudo mkudffs --media-type=dvdram /dev/sr0


where /dev/sr0 is my DVD-RAM drive, I get trying to change type of multiple extents and nothing happens.



What should I do?



EDIT



After trying with dvd+tools, here's what I got:



#dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd -format=full -ssa=default
* BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 7.1.
* 4.6GB DVD-RAM media detected.
* formatting 54.8|


And same error as before from mkudffs.

          How to format a DVD with UDF




          mkudffs /dev/dvd




          If that fails with a trying to change type of multiple extents error, then it's likely that you've got a virgin disk. If you have the dvd+rw-tools package, you can re-format it with the following command:




          dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd




          Then run the mkudffs command again.
