Did the format complete OK though? It took just a few seconds then went straight to zeroing sectors.

I had an improperly formatted BD-R 50 disc which I decided to reformat in my new Pioneer BDR-260. I got a "FormatDisc(FT: 0x31, FST: 0x02) Not Supported!" error then it went on to zeroing sectors - does that mean the format failed or has ImgBurn just completed the bad format?

Quick question - is it possible to batch several build projects? I have 3 DVD drives and wish to burn 3 separate VIDEO_TS folders to each of the drives one after another.

Very odd - drive is also failing to format and write to MEI-T01-001 discs. And yet its fine with all flavors of BD-25 I've tested with it. Faulty drive maybe? Motherboard issue?

So its a media issue? Does that mean the disc is useless or can I still use it?

Just put in a new BD-RE 50 and hit erase. Got this error: I 10:07:41 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

Thanks for the quick reply! Does that mean if I fully erase the disc, it won't verify as it writes? Should BD-REs have a full erase just the first time of use and then they will 'auto-erase' on subsequent writes? Also, should "prefer properly formatted disks" be enabled? I had it turned off.

I have an LG GGW-H20L YL05 drive thats got a Verbatim 2x BD-RE disc currently writing in it. The speed although set to 2x is only writing 1x. Am I correct in thinking that some drives verify as they write which would account for the slow speed? Is there a way to turn that off if so? Or is it the way the disc was formatted initially? I never get asked to reformat BD-REs - they seem to erase as they write.

OK cool. Another thought is about the disc label - could this be automatically filled from the folder name or even date?

In the new build mode, is there a batch option? I'd like to be able to add a number of VIDEO_TS folders and burn them to each drive!
