LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 VERBAT-IM1-000 should technically be supported by the YL07 firmware but it won't be very mature as that MID is a new one. Other factors such as a dirty drive/laser could also be what's causing the drive to error out as it tries to format the disc. Your version of ImgBurn is out of date btw.

Latest developments.. Powercycled the Blu-Ray and installed latest version of IMGBURN (full uninstall, reinstall new version, reset default settings). Now I get a little further on but formatting still fails.. Tried full format and quick format.. Also, trying different media.. Logs attached. I 12:11:38 Operation Started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Forget quick erasing BD-RE, it's pointless. All it does is zero the first 800 sectors on the disc to make it look empty. You'd be overwriting those anyway during a burn so it's just additional wear for no real benefit. What you're aiming for a disc that has been fully formatted (with full certification) without the drive erroring out. There aren't exactly many MIDs/dyes available for BD-RE DL so it could end up that the drive is just no good for any of them. At that point (and assuming you've already tried cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc) you have to consider buying something else (like an LG BH12LS30/35/38 or a Pioneer BDR-206). I swapped out my GGW-H20L for a BH12LS38 a month or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
