In using growisofs to burn a blank Blu-Ray disk from an .ISO file I encounter the following error.

/dev/dvdrw: media is not recognized as recordable DVD

How do I resolve this problem?

The command I used was:

growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw=/home/user/image.iso

This command was taken from this page, in the Blu-Ray part of the documentation:

ubunutu help page

Note that Nautilus shows the blank Blu-Ray just before I issue the growisofs command so I think I can assume Ubuntu is recognizing the device and disk medium. The screenshot shows the blank Blu-Ray in the upper left near the word "Device".

The machine is the Samsung RF711.

10040 is much too large for a MMC profile number.
... diving into growisofs.c and growisofs_mmc.cpp ...

This is a synthetic code made up by growisofs.
Obviously it means "blank BD-ROM", which is quite a
strange state.

Only plausible theory for now:
The drive can only read but not write BD media.
A "combo drive". The Samsung RF711 laptop is advertised
with "DVD super multi" drive or "blu-ray playback".
chip.de reports about a "Blu-ray-Combo" drive.

The drive manufacturer and model name should be told

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw 2>&1 | fgrep INQUIRY

Like

INQUIRY:            [HL-DT-ST][BD-RE  BH16NS40 ][1.00]

The following command should tell the list of supported
profiles:

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw extra 2>&1 | fgrep -A 8  'GET [CUR'

A BD burner would report profiles 43, 42, 41, 40. Like

0000:  00 43 01 00 00 42 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 40 00 00

A BD combo would only report 40. Like

0000:  00 40 01 00 00 2b 00 00 00 1b 00 00 00 1a 00 00
