Okay, its been fixed. It turns out all my blu-ray burner needed was to be cleaned - I ended up using a Blu-ray drive Laser Lens cleaning disc. Everything works fine now. I want to Thank everybody who helped me fix this problem. Much Appreciated

All I ever have is the Verbatim Model 97238. So, at your request, I just ordered some "Memorex 25GB 2X BD-RE Model 05502" discs - they should arrive on 3-25. I clicked on the 'family tree' - here's a screencap of the popup: I'm attaching the entire logfile to this Post only because it's so long. ImgBurn.log

Okay, I tried to burn a new disc, while in Safe Mode, using ImgBurn. First I tried burning my BDMV files onto the disc. Then I tried to burn an .iso Image onto a disc. Both attempts completely failed - giving me the same popup error messages as before. Here's a copy of the logfile: ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 - Log ; Wednesday, 19 March 2014, 21:47:40 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 21:33:39 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

I ordered a drive cleaning disc from Amazon.com but it won't be here for another week and a half. As far as the initial error message, "Invalid Address For Write" - what does it mean, why do you say it's weird.

I bought a new pack of Verbatim 25GB BD-R Model 97238 - and burned with one of them at lowest speed possible (4x). I still encountered the same problem, so something else must be wrong. I know it's easy for people to just say - "Oh well, it's probably a bad drive, so go buy a new one." But I can't afford another one right now - so I'm more than willing to try every conceivable troubleshooting step people can come up with.

ok, I found the logfile you were talking about. It listed a lot of data, but I'm posting the important one below: ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 - Log ; Thursday, 13 March 2014, 17:23:45 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 06:28:52 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

No matter what I try, I can't get it to burn. Setting up the files was fine, the problems began after I clicked the "Build" button. Here are two screencaps of the error messages I received: I know you would want a logfile, but I accidentally closed ImgBurn before I could get it. I really don't want to have to waste another BD-R disc, just to get that logfile (I've already wasted 6 discs by trying to resolve this by myself). Here's a logfile after just opening Imgburn:
