I have some folders with long unicode folder names (using CJK characters) with equally long files names. When written on Blu-Ray using default settings, NO warning was issued by ImgBurn. In the past I remember ImgBurn recommending to change to using UDF to and if it still warns of needing to shorten names, I'd then rename the offending files. But in the latest ImgBurn, I see it just burns them and verifies them without issue.... However, I sometimes burn a checksum files along with the files and the checksum files will no longer work because of the altered pathnames. Software based ECC parity/file recovery files also failed as they need correct paths as well. Can you add more WARNINGS before burning.....?? thanx...

Hi, A few months ago I was having a good percentage of my burns failing, they are cheap Newegg Optical Quantum & Rosewill Blu-Ray disks.... What I did was disable "BD-R Verify Not Required" and my burns has been good, I mean no failures.... Quality may not still be the best on cheap media, but at least no coasters..... You may try this and see if it helps... I believe this enables the error correcting feature of the firmware. There are further ways, for example to reserve spare sectors, but I've still not test that feature extensively though.... good. luck...

yes, they are some old dual-layered pressed DVD-Videos I had dumped onto ISOs many years ago. They play fine using VLC, but if it is burned, I'm afraid it won't have optimal layer breaks. I don't wish to re-author if that's possible. Thanx..

I have some ISO images that are more than 4.3GB or so (7-8GB), so it is a dual layer ISO image. MDS files were not created during imaging, so is it still possible for ImgBurn to generate an "optimum" layer break from just the ISO and save it to an MDS file? The ISOs were not created by ImgBurn, originally. Thanks!

I never knew you could or needs to 'format" a BD-R disk in order for it to support defect management... Is it formatted in ImgBurn the same way one formats a BD-RE disk using "Full Erase/Quick Erase"? Does it allow us to choose how much of the disc to reserve for defects? Btw, where is the 'format' command located at, so that I can try it? Thanks..

So, just so I am perfectly clear :-): ENABLING the checkbox that Nero calls "BD defect management (for blank dics only)" OR ENABLING the checkbox that ASUS/CyberLink Power2Go calls "Defect Management" are the SAME as DISABLING/UN-CHECKING the "BD-R Verify Not Required (*)" under ImgBurn. Since it doesn't hurt to "uncheck the VNR (Verify Not Required) flag, please consider making it the default in a future version of ImgBurn as it allows more reliable burns on cheap/low cost media. Thanks!

I shouldn't say 'perfect' burns as I use to use Nero DiscSpeed for DVD-R quaility checks... And it it never exceeded 90%. But what I saw using Power2Go.. on 4x BD-R Media was quite impressive in that it finished the burn without giving me a coaster. I didn't realize that Un-checking "BD-R Verify Not Required" is the same as ENABLING BD-R Defect Management... Please consider changing the description of that option to something more clearer or add a comment to it that it is related to Defect Management... Btw, isn't ENABLING "BD-R Verify Not Required" turns ON Defect Management, as verifying is no longer required because during the burn process it has already verified the burn and bad sectors has been re-located, is your description of that option REVERSED? Thanx..

I have a ASUS BW-12B1ST Burner. I've got two coasters while burning a data disk onto BD-R discs using ImgBurn 2.5.6.0. They are Newegg "low-cost" Optical Quantum discs. While using ASUS's CyberLink Power2Go, I get perfect burns. I like ImgBurn's interface much better. Only thing different is Power2Go has a Defect Management checkbox for BD-R discs. I'm assuming a small portion of disc is reserved on the BD-R to re-locate "bad" sectors during burn process. In the old days, DVD+/-R/RW's did not have this ability, I realize, only DVD-RAM. But BD-R & BD-RE is suppose to have this capability, because of its increase density and likelihood for defects on even new discs. What are the steps to enable Defect Management in ImgBurn so as to put my Burner into "Defect Management" Mode for BD-R discs? Thanks!
