Thanks for your help, I've updated the setting you suggested and am doing a full erase now on the one remaining disk that still would not read. That did it, the disk plays now. Thanks again!

Thanks for your help, I've updated the setting you suggested and am doing a full erase now on the one remaining disk that still would not read.

I'll try changing the settings like you suggest, but I don't see where in Imgburn to just erase a disc. I'm not real savy as far as Imgburn goes. I use the EZ-Mode picker screen to do what I need with it.

My blu-ray player has the latest firmware. It is a Sony BDP-N460. The problem is not only with that player, but also with a LG BD-ROM/DVD writer drive in the same machine as the Blu-ray burner. Neither the player or the BD-ROM will read the discs after being zeroed. I did get one of the discs working again though, by burning a video project to it created in Arcsoft's Total Media Studio. Once I burned that, the blu-ray player and BD-ROM drive read the disc. Then I used Imgburn to re-burn and ISO image to it and it plays fine.

Do you have any clue as to why the discs that have been "zeroed" are only readable by the drive that burned them and no where else?

Yes, I have watched a lot of my DVD copies on a BD-RE.

Sure it's in BD Video format and not DVD Video format that ISO you are using as source? To me it looks like a typical DVD sized movie ISO. What type/name of files do you see when you browse the burned disc? It is a DVD source that I am burning to a BD-RE. I am backing up all my DVD's to ISO files and to test them, I burn them back to a BD-RE (because dual layer DVD-RW's don't exist) and watch them to ensure I have a quality backup.

I bought a new Verbatim BD-RE, took it fresh out of the package, put it in my blu-ray burner and told Imgburn to burn a copy of a disc from a saved ISO file. Before burning the ISO, Imgburn told me the brand new disc needed to be formated, I said OK. Came back a while later, it had finished the format and started a zero sector operation that I've only seen once before...it also resulted in the following problem. After zero sector completed, the ISO image was burned successfully. I took the disc out and put it in my BD-ROM drive and it shows nothing on the disc. I put the disc in my stand alone blu-ray player and got INVALID on the front of the player. This happened to one other disc, fresh out of the package, but this other disc was a DL BD-RE. I've had other discs come fresh out of the package and not require this zero sector operation. I don't know why it has done this to me twice now. No matter if I try to erase or re-format the disc, burning an ISO image to it results in the disc ONLY being able to be read/played in the drive that actually burned the disc. It won't even load in any other Blu-ray reading device. Is there anything I can do to make this disc back to the condition it was in when it came out of the package? I've tried burning other stuff to it with a different program all together and the disc is still only readable in the drive that burned it and no where else. Here is the log file from the second disc that this happened to when it did this... //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 - Log ; Wednesday, 19 January 2011, 19:24:23 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 17:23:46 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!
