Thanks for the answer. I didn't realize that when I bought the drive.... I'll probably stay with LG from now on...

I have a new Pioneer Burner BDR-209bdk, and this following error occurs when erasing/formatting a new BD-RE disk. (The format disk Not Supported!) Is it needed? or is it a setting within imgburn. This error does not show up using LG bd burners... Thx Mark ------------------------------------------------------------ I 18:36:16 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

Nec Optiarc 5170 does support the Playo media using firmware that is recent. (version 1.14) check this site http://www.sony-optiarc.us/en/support-serv...-ad-series.html. I checked it out using Mediacodespeededit and it shows the UME-DISK (Playo) firmware. In addition. I found you cannot burn iso type files... best thing to do is to burn the files directly. Select the layerswitch... Then it will work.... just one of those things with Playo Disks. (Using Imgburn). It took me about 5 failed burns to realize that the LD zone doesn't work with iso type files..... I hope this will help...

With the new version that is out, do you think maybe this will fix the problem I was having? It does say something about this in the notes with the new version??? Mark

The error is coming directly from your burner: it couldn't burn the media you're using. Try with Verbatim BD-R DL blanks if you can find them, or at least try with other brands (LG is crap and from what we've heard so is TDK) until you find one that works OK with your burner. So if thats is the problem why did the other burner software worked without a hitch. I know that Verbatim makes good disk but they are a little bit more pricey. It seems that the other software works better on Sony disks (BD-R and BD-RE) so I'll use that. (NCH software).

Ok, I have tried to burn a movie which is 46.6 gig onto a Sony BD-R. Aprox half way thru the burn, it comes up with an error. (servo error, trying to write the disk aprox 20+ times and errored out). Now I know there is nothing wrong with the movie cause i tested it with a burn on a sony BD-RE and it played fine. I have changed to a different burning software and its burning it correctly so the problem is within imgburn. Note: The file is an UDF 2.5 iso file which anydvd made. Has any else had problems buring BD-R's from sony (DL - 50 gig)? Is there a setting that I should use? I haven't found anything on this website stating such...
