Rusty_Shackleford Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi All, First of all, if this has been mentioned previously, I apologize, mods feel free to close thread. I'm quite new to burning blu-ray iso's onto BD-RE's, although I know enough on how to burn them, my question is what the Topic suggests. After burning a ISO to the BD-RE disc and I complete an erase (whether it be a imgburn quick or full erase, even both) I found that the disc isn't displaying a total of 50GBs. Now, I'm not sure if it said 50GB from the start, but I was under the impression, you purchase a 50GB BD-RE, you get 50GBs. Now if I attempt to burn an ISO that is bigger than 46GB it will not burn because the disc doesn't have enough space. If this helps, the disc is a TDK. Something similar has happened with the single-layer BD-RE I have. Rather than this displaying 25GB it displays 22.5GB. I didn't notice if the disc displayed 50GBs of free space before the initial burn. Is this how related to the whole Binary Base 2 notation of how data is stored on discs? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yes, it's a from dividing by 1024 instead of 1000. You haven't lost anything. Formatting without spare areas will give you the max available capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
