For me this command "cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 blank=fast" says this:

...
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver (mmc_mdvd).
Driver flags   : SWABAUDIO
Supported modes: SAO

Error: this media does not support blanking, ignoring.
This drive or media does not support the 'BLANK media' command
cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting.
