tandy279 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 it reads: I 20:20:12 Destination Device: [8:0:0] PIONEER BD-RW BDR-205 1.03 (L:) (RAID) I 20:20:12 Destination Media Type: BD-R (Disc ID: PHILIP-R04-00) (Speeds: 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x) making me think that the 4x disc I bought is actually capable of 10x! for a moment I was thrilled! but that's too good to be true unfortunately. my suggestion: move "(Speeds: 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x)" to the end of the first line - that's what they mean isn't it? the supported speed of the DRIVE for this type of media, but they aren't the capabilities of the media itself.

mmalves Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Those are the write speeds reported by your burner as supported for that media when ImgBurn queried the burner for all the media information. The burner's manufacturer might have seen fit that this media ID can be burned up to 10x, which isn't all that uncommon: we see it a lot with DVD+R DL media as well, e.g. Verbatim 2.4x rated DVD+R DL blanks can be burned at 8x on some burners. If you use Verbatim BD-R blanks it'll probably allow you to use the burner's fastest 12x BluRay burn speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandy279 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 really? I might just risk one BD disc to test your theory! even 8x is much better than 4x, saving me 20 minutes per disc! (burn + verify) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
