well, as stated in my other posts, I did 6 successful burns after the last coaster - 2 with the problematic movies Mesrine part 1 & part 2... they all work, but (as stated in my other posts) I had to use the original folder name as the disc label for the Mesrine discs... the 17.5 GB mark is where the write error occurred - for all 5 coasters always at the same mark (as stated before) until I changed the label... not quite sure why I would burn the 2 problematic movies again, they work now b/c I used the original folder names... also, don't really see no reason to buy another brand, since these were the only 5 coasters in over 140 burns with these discs, only occurring with these 2 specific movies, the label turning out to be the problem... so (IMO) if you look at the history of this problem, the chances are basically zero that this is media related... IMO: this is a specific problem with these 2 movies - Mesrine part 1 & Mesrine part 2...

lightning, I don't think the max speed has anything to do with it (although anything is - as always - possible), b/c here's the history of the problem: > I never change the default settings in ImgBurn * burned 4 coasters with max speed settings with my custom long label (2 x Mesrine part 1 movie & 2 x Mesrine part 2 movie) * after that - confused that it did not work - I burned 2 BD-R 25's (2 different movies) successfully - max speed settings as well * confident again (considering it MIGHT have been 4 bad discs in a row), I tried another burn of Mesrine part1 - max speed - unsuccessful again * then - finally - I kept the original folder name (as stated in my original post) - and burned successful both Mesrine part 1 & Mesrine part 2 - both max speed * since then I have burned another 4 movies successfully onto these BD-R 25's discs - with max speed --> all discs came from the SAME SPINDLE ------ Regarding your suggested test, 4 out 5 coasters could not be read by Opti Drive Control - b/c the discs are unreadable as I did not finalize the track after the write error occurred --> on the last coaster (#5) I did finalize the track after the write error occurred, this disc is readable. I ran all three test in Opti Drive Control, here are the pics: Please find the 3 images atatche3 to this post. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanx. - M

Hi, I think I have encountered a bug in ImageBurn - at least it is an error that I cannot explain. When I create copies of my Blu-Rays (all ripped via AnyDVD HD) I usually use very long labels for the Blu-Rays. This has always worked and there has never been a coaster for a BD-R25 or a BD-R50. Now I have produced 5 (!) coasters here for 2 specific movies: Mesrine: Part 1 (Killer Instinct) and Mesrine: Part 2 (Public Enemy). Both retail Blu-Rays are BD-R25. I ripped them via AnyDVD HD and attempted to burn Part 1 onto a BD-R25, by simply dragging the folders into ImageBurn (which configures all settings for you). The original folder name of the AnyDVD HD rip was "MESRINE_PT1". As always, ImageBurn suggested that folder name as the label, but as I said before I use my own labels. The label I entered was "Mesrine: Part 1 - Killer Instinct (2008) - Blu-Ray". The burn produced a write error at 96%. I suspected the colon to be a problem so I tried again exchanging the colon with a hyphen: "Mesrine - Part 1 - Killer Instinct (2008) - Blu-Ray". Produced another coaster at 96% (write error). Same problem occurred with Part 2, I get write errors at 96% over and over - whatever I use as my custom label (I shortened the label, thinking char LENGTH might be an issue). On my last try, I used the original folder name of the rip (MESRINE_PT1) as the label and the burn went through perfectly w/o a problem. Same right away afterwards for the second movie. --> this leaves me to the assumption that all 5 coasters that Image burn produced (--> write errors at 96%) are related to my custom labels for the Blu-Ray burn 2 other facts: * I used the same brand for all burns - which had prior to this problem never produced a coaster * the length of my custom label can also not be a problem as I have successfully burned Blu-Rays before with longer labels Please report back here if you think I have an error in my workflow, otherwise... please fix ! Thanx. - M

@LIGHTNING UK!: thanx for your reply ! that was exactly the problem. I updated to the newest firmware and now all burns work perfectly, I even just overburned a BD-R 25 with a movie with 25,015,938,128 bytes and the disc works flawlessly... thanx again for your help, very much appreciated ! - M

@ mmalves: thanx for your reply yes, these discs that don't work, burn and verify successfully in ImageBurn here is the log from ImageBurn from the last burn that verified successful but does not work on my PS3 - again this problem (discs not working on my PS3) ONLY occurs if the data size is > app. 22 GiB: I 04:23:59 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

Hi guys, I have a weird problem here, that i can't seem to solve... I'm backing up my Blu-Rays with AnyDVD HD (to folder structure) and then processing the ripped data with tsmuxer to only keep the movie to a Blu-Ray folder structure... If the movie is below 25 GB (23.28 GiB / 25,000,000,000 bytes) I burn the folder structure (--> tsmuxer output) via Nero or ImageBurn to a BD-R 25 blank disc as UDF 2.5 format. Now this works beautifully and the discs play perfectly on my PS3, IF (!!!) the movie (--> tsmuxer output folder size) is below app. 22 GiB, if the movie is bigger than 22Gib but still smaller than 23.28 GiB the burn will go through but will not play on my PS3... Example: (1.) My Blu-Ray rip of SHERLOCK HOLMES - movie only, Blu-Ray folder structure, no compression - is 22.5 GiB (24,257,915,880 bytes) --> as far as I understand this should fit on a BD-R 25 as the data size is below 23.28 GiB (2.) Burning the Blu-Ray folder structure (--> tsmuxer output) via Nero as UDF 2.5 --> results in an unsuccessful burn - although this has worked successfully 100 times with smaller movies (3.) I burned the Blu-Ray folder structure (--> tsmuxer output) via ImageBurn - version 2.5.5.0, Mode 1 / 2048, UDF 2.5, recursive subdirectories --> resulted in successful burn (a.) inserting the movie into the PS3 results in the PS3 ejecting and inserting the disc again and then not play anything, the disc is not accessible as a data disc either (b.) inserting the movie in Blu-Ray drive on Windows 7 results in the disc NOT autostarting - clicking on the drive which starts autoplay via Windows Media Player results in this error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disc was created in a manner that the Player does not support." (c.) VLC also does not play the disc and outputs an error (d.) Power DVD 10 does play the disc and also if you file browse to the main .m2ts, you can play that file manually Can anybody explain to me why these discs with more data than app. 22 GiB are causing problems and do not play on the PS3 ? Thanx for your help in advance ! - Mike
