[Burning a 26.5 GB Encore project on a BD-RE 50GB DL]

'never done this! I just read an interesting post but from 2008 and it had "log" till I turned blue! I'll have to find out how to get and post a log.

I'm a permanent newbie

I could not see much in the FAQ that I could find relevant.

I have burnt successfully a slightly shorter version of this project (23GB) on a re writable 25 gb disk but did add to it since my verbatim BD are 50 GB.

My Burner is a brand new Samsung usb 2 unit. I have no physical room for internal.

I'm going back to bed but thank you.

I've done quite a few DVD in the past but this is my first with BD as it was too expensive before.

The old post seem to put emphasis on not using usb, or lowering the writing speed, using quality disks. I wonder if this is still relevant to day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Basically all you need to do is re-burn the project and then when it fails right click no the box below Imgburn called image Burn log

 

Click edit and select all.

Then click edit and copy

and paste the log into the forums post and its all good

 

Then maybe somebody can help you

Its weird though because one of the drivers works perfect on the Marvell controllers

I've got two of the same drives. Plextor - One works , one doesn't.

 

Im beginning to think the drive just has a fault as the Blu-ray drive and one Plextor drive works perfect.

Other one is bad.

Did you tried switch the ports? Replace one with the other, see how it works.

 

Make sure they are both on the motherbord primary chipset not on some third party chipset controller.

3rd party drivers like a Marvel Sata controller?

My motherboard has 6 Sata ports most of them are in use

Harddrive and Blu-ray player use Intel's driver while the Plextor use the Marvel Drivers. 

 

Have also uninstalled the drivers which IDE /ATA controllers so they have refreshed hopefully this works.

 

Its weird the drive works fine sometimes and other times it just has countless issues.

 

Driver got to about 12% and the error happened again.

 

ruining all my discs.

I've being having a problem with my drives that I have just purchased one of them works perfectly while the other one keeps failing with this error. I've updated them both to the latest firmware and tried different discs. Sometimes they both work perfectly but then one of the new drives always comes up with this error. I've burned with other writing software and not had a problem with it so just wondering what's going on as imgburn is my favourite.

Weird PX-891SA 1.06 (F:) drive works perfectly on all discs and does not error out once.

But PX-891SA 1.06 (D:) errors out all the time like this like above. Hopefully you could give me a hand in

resolving this problem as I've just bought them both.
