Thanks for your input. I have found the solution. My problem started when I installed an external hard drive. My wife kept telling me this, but being a male I didn't listen. I had this in the back of my mind but didn't think it would have caused the problem. Anyhow, I unplugged the hard drive and, lo and behold, the burner works perfectly. Can anyone suggest why this was a problem? I am pleased I can now start burning again but it means I will have to plug and unplug the external hard drive- not to mention the wasted discs (ouch!). FYI: I use ImgBurn (excellent) and NERO HD plug in with ANYHDDVD for encryption (even though it is supposed to be incompatable with ImgBurn & One Click DVDPRO) & TDK or SONY printable BD discs from Japanese e-bay sellers. Hope this of help to others.

Thanks, but in the past, i have had no problems with TDK, Sony, Panasonic, LG etc. For some reason the Blu ray drive keeps dropping out - I pressed the safely remove hardware icon, pulled out the USB converter cable and then replaced it - and Cyberlink Advisor then showed green lights indicating the Blu Ray drive is found. I might try a fresh BD -R disc tomorrow - it's bedtime in OZ and I have had enough of playing around with this for now. If anyone can shed some light I would be grateful.

I have had no problem previously burning Blu ray movies using IMGBURN with my external blu ray writer LG BEO6LU10. Since a power outage, I am able to write to an ISO file without a problem. Cyberlink Advisor (program comes with the burner)shows all green lights for every system requirement. When attempting to burn to a BD - RE disc (with a movie already on the disc to be overwritten) the burn starts with a usual write rate which, after a few seconds, changes to 0KB/s (0.0x). Image Burn states that it is writing sectors and still keeps counting up the time. From memory, previous burns have always shown a write rate >0.0x. When I check Cyberlink Advisor it shows a red light for the Blu ray Disc drive - indicating no blu ray drive is found. Are you able to help? Is this problem with the burner? i have unplugged and plugged it in again in the correct order. Attached is the log which shows I aborted the burn. Imgburn has not yet cancelled > a half an hour later. If I press the cancel button again, IMGBURN tells me to be patient - that it heard me the first time.
