BD-RE & LG Write Speed


Race Guy

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

 

I just installed an LG GGW-H20L SATA BD burner. It's rated 6x/2x/6x.

 

In the box is an LG 2x BD-RE.

 

For some reason, the fastest write speed it'll do on that RE via ImgBurn is 1x.

 

When it was blank, I did the "full format", then it did a "zeroing sectors" operation, then I burned my first test.

 

The first burn, I had speed set to "MAX" & got 1x, I also tried Auto & fixed at 2x & still got 1x.

 

Any ideas?

 

The burns verified good & played good, they just take so DOG GONE LONG. My 'puter isn't an i7 rocketship, just an AMD 5000+ x2, but I'm SURE it can feed the 9KB/s which is "2x".

 

See ya!

Now that you mention that Mr. M........., that option MAY have been presented to me AFTER IB completed the format.

 

Not knowing what it was, I OBVIOUSLY selected "no"!

 

What's a "safe" speed for BD-R writes for a standalone player? This burner goes 6x, the media is 4x, I might just go 2x on the first one to see what happens!

 

THANKS!!

Personally I wouldn't go down the 'fast write' route.

 

Either enable spare areas on the bd-re or don't.

 

If you format the disc without spare areas (which is the default in 2.4.4.0), you won't need fastwrite as it'll format at max speed anyway.
