Using Digistor 50GB discs. Just starting having problems with them. Seems lots of us are having this same error. My log looks like the others. Strange, I have no problem burning these BD discs using Sony DVD Architect V 6.0. Can anyone recommend some other program that might work properly? Jerry

Golly, that's probably why it didn't want to install the "new" version. Sorry about that. No, haven't tried that. Do you think there's some reason why a faster burn would solve a problem finalising the disc?

I have a problem similar to one described in another thread except my error message is different. My message is: Cannot write Medium- Incompatible Format. This is also the LG WH10LS30 drive. I downloaded the new firmware and that will not install - at least with other programs running. (I had hoped to install it and "trying again" before closing imgburn. I've already lost 5 $6 discs...... Here's the log, for what it's worth: I 09:05:38 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!
