dylangreene86 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I don't know if I am in the right place so if not, please forgive me. For a week I have had trouble figuring out what I am doing wrong. Every time I try and burn or copy a disc or image it always fails at the beginning of the second part of the process at "Writing Lead-In" when I insert the blank disc. I am using Verbatim 25GB BD-RE 6x blank discs. I can rip movies and use DVDFAB HD to put them on the hard drive and I have tried burning and copying DVDs and they work, however, I am unable to copy or burn to Bluray at all. I have used all three discs the Verbatim pack came with, tried three different Bluray movies, made sure my Bluray burner Firmware is up-to-date, etc... The burner has great reviews and seeing how it burns DVDs perfectly and rips just fine, I can't see that it is defective. Here is the log from the DVDFAB HD/IMGBURN attempt: I 00:06:34 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!

Sorry for all the info but if anyone has any ideas that may help me before I ship this back to Newegg, I would very much appreciate it! Thanks again, Dylan
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Try burning at 4x. Try burning discs with a different MID/dye - perhaps get the 2x or 4x Verbatims instead of the 6x ones.
dylangreene86 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 So I slowed the burning down to 2.4x and 4x and it seemed to work 2 out of 3 times which is awesome. The main question I have now is why can I not burn at 6x? If the blank advertises a 6x speed, wouldn't it make sense? If 4x is the fastest I can burn, then where is a good place to buy larger packs than 3 for a decent brand/price? I got these few from Best Buy so the price was jacked up. Thanks again for the help.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 You'd have to ask LiteOn that question. It's the drive/firmware that does the burning, not the software. As for where to buy disc... any of the big online electronics stores I guess - newegg or whatever (I don't live in the US).
