gamecockks Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have been trying to use imgburn in conjunction with dvdfab. i have tried it both in the software and alone...i still get the below error. I/O Error Device: [0.0.0] PLEXTOR BDDVDR PX-B310U 1.07 (F USB ScsiStatus: 0x02 Interpretation: Check Condition CDDB: AA 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 40 00 Interpretation Write (12) - Sectors 0-31 Sense Area: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: Invalid Command Operation Code What's going on? This is a mess trying to burn a blu ray. also... when i try using VSO software included in dvdfab, i get the "media inserted in drive F is not writable. please insert blank or erasable media." file is 21 G so there should be no need for dual layer blu ray dvd. what's going on? help. Also... Using blank Verbatim BD-R 25 GB 4X Write Speed i haven't tried any other discs. i thought i had purchased some of the best in Verbatim.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 That drive is a BD reader, not a BD writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I don't know, you tell me where in that text it says it writes to BD discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecockks Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 well i don't know what to look for i guess. i guess i assumed since it read and played blu ray and it obviously writes dvd's that it wrote blu ray discs as well. when i did a search for external blu ray units that wrote blu ray, this unit came up. i suppose i did not understand what i was getting. do you have any recommendations that are external, connect by USB, are reliable and not terribly expensive?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 A 'combo' drive pretty much always means it reads more formats than it writes to. A drive spec (even the shortened version) will always specifically mention that it writes to the best format it supports, if it does indeed support it. So if it writes to BD, it'll say it writes to BD... it may or may not also then say it writes to DVD and CD. You won't get anything decent until they do a USB 3.0 one. USB 2.0 just isn't quick enough for the speeds the latest BD writers are capable of (currently, 12x). You might be able to find an enclosure that can handle USB 3.0 or eSATA, then you can just buy any old normal internal drive (Pioneer BDR-205 or an LG BG10LS30 for example) and put that in it.

gamecockks Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 what do you think about a Buffalo Technology MediaStation 6X Portable Blu-Ray Writer BR-PX68U2/BK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would never buy a slimline drive so I'm not the person to ask. Search the web for reviews, check MyCE (CDFreaks) to see if anyone has posted scans from one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
