Hi Forum:
I am a very experienced DVD Burn person, but am completely new to Blu-ray burning. I typically use AnyDVD and CloneDVD to make DVD's but with my new Blu-Ray burner these tools don't help. I have read a lot on this forum and a few others, and though much of the information has helped, I am still unclear as to few details, and thought I could get some help here.
The background: I have made a backup .iso of the movie I want to burn to blu-ray by using AnyDVD to rip and create the .iso file. I have the latest versions of ImgBurn (version 2.5.4.0), I believe I have the latest Firmware for my LG WH10LS30 drive, which is 1.0.7.. I am running Vista Ultimate x64, have 8 Gigs of RAM, 2.0 Tb HDD, and 2 Quadcore Xeon Processors. Usually, anything I do is extremely fast.
The issue: When I start ImgBurn, it starts great, I select the source file, and it asks me to put media into the Destination Drive, I do, and the message I get at the bottom of the UI is "Getting Book Type..." It never moves past this. I have let it sit for hours, it didnt move along. I have reset a number of setting's in the Settings section, although none of the changes that I have made under the various suggestions have gotten me past the "Getting Book Type..." stage. You may notice in the screen shots below that I have checked 'Test Mode', but be assured, I have tried it without that box checked, and with 'Verify' only being checked.
Below is the Screen Shots, Log, and I am happy to provide any other details you need. Lastly, I am using Verbatim BD-R LTH Type Disc, with 2x speed. Its my first burn so, I thought maybe the disc was bad, and that is why it is stuck, so I have ordered new discs today from New Egg per the recommendation made by "Lightning".
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can render. My friends have told me that with .iso file, and the burner, it should be as easy as one-two-three, click.
