shadowcaster Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I realize that this is not an Imgburn issue, but thought I may still find the answer here. Imgburn 2.5.5.0 PC: HP xw4600 workstation, core2 duo @ 3.0ghz, 4g ram C: drive @ 500gb, D: drive 1 TB with 400 gb free space Mode: Build, with an SATA LG GGW-H20l 6x BD burner as destination. Source Blu-ray files/structure are on D: drive 2X write speed, UDF file system selected. With Verbatim Verb-imd-00 2x,4x BD-dl 50gb media, I set the write speed to 2x and log shows successful. However, the burn proceeds at 1X write rate. 3 times now. (before a system crash and restore from a backup, 2X worked fine). CPU usage is ~6% and Page file is ~1100 (set to custom @2048-4092 for drive C and none for drive D, the source drive.) Although the media is rated 2x-4x is the 1x burn still a quality burn? I've read in my searching that a slower than rated speed can cause errors and jitter. My burner doesn't support Opti Drive, etc. so I can't test. BTW, BD-25 Verbatim burns fine @ 2x as well as other dvd/cd media at their selected speeds. It's only the BD-50 that drops to the slower speed. I don't run any other apps while burning. Any help is much appreciated. 3 hr burns are just a little too long. Incidently, would creating an image file first, and then burn, help the set speed at all? Or possibly creating a page file for the source drive ? Edited March 13, 2011 by shadowcaster

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 What happens if you set the write speed to 4x?
shadowcaster Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Same result, 1x. Edit: BTW, they play fine in a SA BD player, so I assume that the media has no problem with the 1x burn speed ? Edited March 14, 2011 by shadowcaster
