Thanks for your experience. I agree Pioneer is a better drive compared to Liteon and LG. This Samsung (TSST) is rated high and it is M-Disc approved. So, I am trying to get a firmware update.

Thanks!

So, you don't think the issue is trying to burn one large 90GB file instead of several smaller files? If I should try Imgburn do you recommend changing any of the default settings of Imgburn to burn one large 90GB file to 100GB disc? Thanks

I have successfully burned 23GB file on 25GB M-Disc. I have been trying to burn one 90GB file on 100GB M-Disc and have only got errors. So far, I have tried cdburnerxp (Disc 1) and ashampoo (Disc 2). Both times with errors. See below Imgburn verification log. I'm getting ready to try Imgburn to burn 90GB on 100GB M-Disc, but at $20.00 per disc, I would like to get some advice on correct settings of Imgburn before I make the burn. All Imgburn settings are at default. 1) What settings do I need to adjust, if any, to make a successful burn of one 90GB file onto a 100GB Bluray M-Disc? (M-Disc are not supposed to require any different settings than a typical 100GB Disc) 2) From the logs posted below, can you tell me anything that would avoid those errors using Imgburn? 3) The file on Disc 2 can copy to hard drive successfully and open correctly. Even with the error on Disc 2 can I keep that disc for archival purposes or should I re-burn the file to a new disc?
