This is not a problem with ImageBurn as such but opinions would be appreciated.
I have a new LG BD rewriter BH10LS30 and use Verbatim 2x 25Gb BD-RE discs. The is no firmware upgrade for the unit so its using its original firmware.
I format the discs using the full erase menu. The settings are more or less the defaults. "BD-RE FastWrite" is enabled though. "Prefer Format With Full Certification", "Prefer Format Without Spare Areas" and "Prefer Properly Formatted Discs" are all enabled. Format completes in 1:50, 1:10 for erasing and 40 for zeroing. I then burn my data to the disc. All successful and Power DVD is happy with it on the computer. Pop it in my Philips player and format unknown.
I go through the whole procedure again, format then burn the data and only then does the player recognise it as BD disc and play it. That has happened with all discs I have tried. Its as though the first format doesn't "take".
I did try an initial format with "BD-RE FastWrite" disabled, that didn't succeed with one format either but took rather a long time! I also tried a quick format for the second format but nope, only a second full one will do.
After the second format I can rewrite successfully and they are recognised by my Philips player so they seem to work ok.
Any advice or comments would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Barry
