Firmware update worked! The Optical Quantum discs seem to work fine (i've used other O.Q. discs & had no prob's) and are cheaper, but the Verbatim discs are higher quality/higher price. I know the discs are made differently (& i have ordered some via eBay) but I'm curious, could you explain what the difference is from a user standpoint... Do they last longer, have fewer errors, etc.... Thanks for your help...most appreciated!

Sorry, this should help Here are the logs from both burn attempts. I think i tried the one using AnyDVD/IMGburn, and the other using dvdFab/IMGburn... verified one automatically, the other against disc image. ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 - Log ; Tuesday, 13 September 2011, 21:31:34 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 21:30:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

I wanted to make a "cloned" back-up of Megamind 3D. 1st step was to put a good .iso copy onto my hard disc using AnyDVD 6.8.5.0 & ImgBurn 2.5.5.0 (i have 3d capability on my pc, so i know the .iso was perfect:) So, according to what i've read, all i need to do is purchase some ($$$) 50GB BD-R DL discs (Optical Quantum 6x) & this should be no problem... So I selected "write image file to disc" and waited for my copy to be complete....it seemed to burn well, but as soon as it started to verify, the dreaded miscompares began... I tried 2 discs & got the same exact thing. Any help would be appreciated...IMG burn @ default settings...Maybe bad discs?
