catman915 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Can IMGBurn burn a 40gb iso to a BD-RE DL 50 disk? Not sure how if so. Is there a Tutorial? Thanks Edited November 11, 2010 by catman915
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 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.

catman915 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 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?
mmalves Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 They did away with the whole layerbreak concept, now it's just one big disc.
catman915 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 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?
catman915 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 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?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 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).

Rincewind Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) They did away with the whole layerbreak concept, now it's just one big disc. 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). Edited November 14, 2010 by Rincewind
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 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.
