Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished) then try the Full Erase and burning again. It's also a good idea to look for the latest drivers for your motherboard's chipset and/or SATA controller (tip: use SIW to identify them). I checked pioneer's website and i didn't see a link to any firmware upgrade. I used your link and now everything is burning fine however for future purposes should i always use the firmware downloads site? I find it unusual that i couldn't find the firmware upgrade on their site, and i've used it before to update firmware on a set top pioneer bluray player. it's possible i just missed it on the website too though.

Sorry i looked but couldn't find a forum talking about this with Bluray I only saw people talking about this issue with DVDs. I am trying to burn an image of the bluray DOGMA that i backed up. I followed the same process and successfully burned a back up of The Last Waltz on bluray which is only a 25GB disc. I am using a sony BD-RE DL. It fails about half way with the error no additional sense information. It's like the program doesn't recognize that my disc is a DL. Here's the log, at the end of the log is my formatting of the disc which i am currently doing now. Ideas? Normally i would play around with a few tries before posting a forum but it takes almost 3 or 4 hours to burn this disc and i only have one day off a week. I 11:58:22 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
