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

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.
Source of above info
/dev/dvd is a link to /dev/sr0 and it too fails. I'll try with dvd+rw-format.

Format just finished and I'm still getting same error.
– AndrejaKo

As a sidenote, I just tried mkudffs on a known working CD-RW and I got same error.

After several dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd I noticed that it exits before 100%. Every time it completes a few percent more and I'm at 97.9% now.
