ImgBurn is reporting a format failure at 99% when doing the initial full format on BD-RE 50 GB Discs, but subseqent "Quick Format" seems to work fine (see logs). This has happened on the first two of my TDKBLD-Wfa-00 disks (now testing the third). These discs now seem to be writable but:
1) are they safe to use?
2) are there other ImgBurn setting I should have used?
3) other hints?
Thanks
Nathan
