computerlove Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I have just installed a new LG BH12LS38 blu-ray writer to replace my old one. When burning a blu-ray disc using the new drive, the programme buffer reaches 100% but the device buffer only reaches 50%. Will it be a hardware or software problem?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 It's not a 'problem' so to speak, it's just what the new LG drives seem to do.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 It's just how new LG drives report the buffer level during a burn. I don't know why they've started to do it (just report 50% rather than 100%) but they have - my BH12LS38 does exactly the same. If you require a more detailed answer, you'd have to contact LG and ask them why the drive behaves like that. It's a hardware thing, not a software thing. Maybe it's a bug in the firmware or maybe they've done it on purpose.
computerlove Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks for the advice. I just discovered that the buffer level reaches 100% when buying DVD despite a red rectangle still appears at the right side of the percentage bar.
