Burning to a BD-RE DL Disk

[catman915]

Can IMGBurn burn a 40gb iso to a BD-RE DL 50 disk? Not sure how if so. Is there a Tutorial? Thanks

It's the most basic thing you can do.

 

Click the 'write image file to disc' button.

Load the image.

Click the big 'Write' button.

Thanks now I feel Stupid for asking, nothing like overthinking something.

I'm not very familiar with the tech stuff and was wondering whether the Layer Break is calculated and automatically added by IMGBurn in the example above since the ISO would not have one?

They did away with the whole layerbreak concept, now it's just one big disc.

If I understand, IMBurn automatically inserts the proper info to cause the Writer to change layers at the proper time and it is seamless?

No, the drive does it automatically.

No, the drive does it automatically.

 

So a BD burner automatically takes care of the break for BD-DL media but when burning DVD-DL it requires that IMGBurn specify the break point?

For DVD+R DL, not DVD-R DL.

 

You can't move the LB position on DVD-R DL, that's why nobody uses them.

 

The LB is a phyiscal thing and so it's always there. If you don't move it, it'll just be in the default position.

 

So software doesn't *have* to move it anywhere, it just does (for other reasons I won't go into).

Got it, thanks for the info.

That actually is intriguing and I would like to know more about the specs for bluray DL, any good links?

 

I am curious to know how multimedia is handled; meaning is there are 'seamless' transition to the next layer on bluray video, how is playback handled on a DL? How will video work on more than two layers? Third , and fourth layer (when that kind of bluray format is available for consumers).

The LBA/sector numbers are consecutive between layers (just as they've always been actually).

 

The software doesn't even have to know multiple layers exists. You can read/write from start to finish (over multiple layers) by knowing the start LBA (i.e. 0) and the end LBA.

 

All it takes is a tiny bit of buffering to get around the time taken for a player to refocus the laser when it reaches the end of a layer.
