Hi.
I tried to write slightly less than 25 GB to a BD-R (TDK, 4x, 135min, 25GB). I did this already many times before, but never ended up in such a "disaster". I trashed 3 media. The write process either started and stopped somewhere between 46% and 62% (never at the same place), or it didn't start at all. A file image (.iso) works fine!
Before I keep on going wasting expensive media, I prefer to ask here what could possibly be wrong.
Please help ...
