Burning coasters, not happy

jay5298 · May 19, 2011

I have been using Imgburn for quite some time and it has been working fine until now. I'm burning Blu-ray discs of movies backed up with DVDFab. I have successfully copied about 200 movies using Optical Quantum BD-R 25GB discs (PHILIP-R04-000.) Now these discs may or may not be considered "good" quality discs as compared to Verbatim discs but I wont spend $3.00 for one BD-R disc. I know the old saying you get what you pay for but these discs I have been using have been fine up until now. The disc will start to burn and then I get the error posted below. I am using 4x speed as this is the speed of the discs themselves. When I look at the disc it looks like one ring "burned" and thats it. Now here is the part I can't figure out. If I set the burn speed to MAX it burns fine, no errors. Now this may be fine, but when I look at the disc itself it doesn't look as uniform as the disc burned at 4x. The "rings" look dark and light as compared to a 4x burned disc the rings are all the same color from the center outward. Both discs play fine, but I'm afraid that the faster burned discs won't be the same quality as the slower burned ones. Once a disc is burned whether it's done at 4x or 10x does the quality drop off at a faster burned speed? I would like to know the answer to that question. I suppose I could have got some bad discs but this happened to about 5 discs in a row. If there are any settings I am missing please let me know.

Thanks
