i have already tried this command, and I get this:

[root at fc2 /]# dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cdrom
* DVDąRW format utility by <appro at fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.9.
* 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected.
- illegal command-line option for this media.
- you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
  -lead-out  to elicit lead-out relocation for better
             DVD-ROM compatibility, data is not affected;
  -force     to enforce new format (not recommended)
             and wipe the data.

...and I have ran with -lead-out too. no success :((
