BD-RE will not erase completely

[Booby]

Hello all,

Ive been trying to use a LG BD25-LE BluRay disk and cannot seem to get it to erase completely.

 

The one function I'd like to use in ImgBurn (v 2.5.0 currently), is the Format................... but I cant find it!

Am I crazy or is the only way to Format a disk is to "Erase Full"?

 

If so, Ive done this repeatedly (3~4 times) and once in while ImgBurn comes back with "disk needs to be formatted" messege.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Oh yes, here's the log;

Just another note: After my most recent ImgBurn Full erase I got a "blank disc" icon in My Computer system display on my PC. This is good news... though the ImgBurn is still saying the disc status (in Discover mode) is "Ready (disc not empty)"

 

thank you

The supplied BD-RE disc is rubbish, buy yourself a Verbatim one.
