I tried a media range DL disc and it burned 2x speed. Maybe a bad charge of discs (Verbatim) ?

Nothing new to me. I would like to understand why. If i want to burn 1x speed it adjuts to 2x at least.

Attached IBG file. Its compressed. I HL-DT-ST_BD-RE_GGW-H20L_YL07_MONTAG-15-OKTOBER-2012_18-59_VERBAT-IMd-000_4x.7z

Buffer level is always full. I use a empty 2 TB drive 7500 RPM. I have a 4x Ritek 25 GB handy but its limited by my drive to 2x speed.

Here is a log with successful write speed. Its just a few weeks ago. 19:09:00 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

I always use verbatim 50 GB discs. It supprorts 4x write speed on my LG GGW H20L Since a few weeks it only burns 1x even the log says sucessfully set to 4x. Normally i use AWS but its the same with max or 4x as settings. Any suggestions ? Mike

Done. All files are equal Maybe a bad disk? But 2 in a row, regards Mike

Will try that. Thanks.

Yep, without any problems. Did some tests with opti drve control and all seems O.K.

Hi Cynthia. Sure. Here it is. Mike Imgburn.log

Hi community. Have backed up various BDs already. The last movie i burned doesn´t play on my Panasonic BDT 300. Haven´t got a error message or something. Verbatim BDR DL 50. Burner deffective maybe ? LG GGW H20 L Y07. kindest regards from germany Mike
