I will do what you asked and post it for you... Tks....

Thank you for the reply and I have been doing more research... and here is what I have found... 1. I create an img with ImgBurn. 2. I then write the img file and verify it to a Sony 25G BD-RE using ImgBurn I get a message that is displayed on the TV screen when I insert the disc in the player is

BTW... I just burned the same image to a 50G Sony BD-RE and here is the log and it plays just great on the BDP-S500 ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 - Log ; Sunday, 16 March 2008, 17:32:23 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 16:29:57 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

I have a GGW-H10N Blu-ray burner with the current firmware v1.03 using Sony BD-RE 25G discs In the settings I have selected: Prefer Format Without Spare Areas (*) Disc formatted as displays: HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H10N 1.03 (Fibre) Current Profile: BD-RE Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: Yes Sessions: 1 Sectors: 12,219,392 Size: 25,025,314,816 bytes Time: 2715:27:17 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2x TOC Information: Session 1... -> Track 01 (Mode 1, LBA: 0 - 12219391) -> LeadOut (LBA: 12219392) BD Disc Information: Disc ID: SONY-ES1-02 Disc Type: BD-RE Current Format Capacity: Sectors: 12,219,392 Size: 25,025,314,816 bytes Time: 2715:27:17 (MM:SS:FF) Preferred Format Capacity: Sectors: 11,826,176 Size: 24,220,008,448 bytes Time: 2628:04:26 (MM:SS:FF) Maximum Format Capacity: Sectors: 12,219,392 Size: 25,025,314,816 bytes Time: 2715:27:17 (MM:SS:FF) I wrote to the disc and verified it and it played on my BDP-S500 player. Now the problem starts

Thank You!!! BTW the "Erase" will take along time... It took over 4 hours to erase the disc and .... Is there any reason not to format (erase) it to the Maximum Format Capacity??? I can only see 2 options for BD disc that I need to select: Settings -> Write tab -> 'Prefer Format Without Spare Areas' Settings -> Write tab -> "DVD-RAM / BD-RE Fastwrite (*)' Are there any other settings for Blu-Ray (BD-RE) disc that I should select??? Tks again for a great piece of software....

I would like to reformat this disc to use the full disc (Maximum Format Capacity)... How can I do this??? This is a Panasonic 50 GB BD-RE disc and the file I would like to write to this disc is 50,050,629,632 bytes big... I did not have to format this disc, it came preformatted.. I have searched the forum and "Erase" is not the same as "Format"... How can I increase the disc size to the max?? Thank you...
