however, if the disk is re-inserted and:

gene@coyote:~/AppImages$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1
xorriso 1.5.4 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.

Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr1'
Media current: DVD+RW
Media status : is blank
Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 4483m free
gene@coyote:~/AppImages$

Something definitely aglay with that disk. See line 190 of the log.
