Newbie Question on Write Rate


habitoti

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

being a BD-newbie with my LG BH10LS30 I am a bit stuck on the following (with having no answer found via Google, FAQs and Forum search): I use Platinum 4x discs, which Amazon users praised as being very reliable and good quality. They state to be able to write them even at 8x speed, writing a complete 25GB disc in 11 min.

I have the latest 1.00-09 FW with riplock patch, and reading is at a steady 20MB/s ok. However when writing with ImgBurn and Auto Writespeed, it selects 8x, but then the drive hangs right in the beginning with "Reserving Tracks" and not actually writing something. If I choose 6x or less explicitly, it will write flawlessly, however only at a write rate of <1MB/s (2.0), taking about 45min for a full BD disc.

So anyone who had this issue as well and has a solution at hand? My PC is a pretty new one, with Asus P7P55 board, Intel Chips and i3 CPU, drives connected via SATA, so there should be no performance issue.

 

Regards, habitoti

After this, it won't continue, saying "Reserving Tracks..." forever with the drive spinning up & down endlessly...

(for this log I switched on "Test Mode", but it's no different w/o it)

Hi,

 

is that suffcient information or do you need something else? (BTW: When the drive comes back after ~6 minutes of "reserving track", the media is a coaster -- status is incomplete and obviously some data written, next write position is some huge number then...)
