Fully Format BD

[Vanbursta]

Can someone please tell me how to erase a BD-R AND wipe the volume label? I can erase the BD-RW O.K., so I don't need instructions for that part, BUT Imageburn seems to keep the old volume label, when I erase the BR I would like to reset the label to [empty] IE the label will be nothing. I have trawled through all the settings but can't figure out how to do this. Maybe I am being a bit thick?

 

Also it would be nice in a future version to have a seperate menu just for erasing / formatting disks. - Pretty please!

You can't erase a BD-R, it's 'write once' media.

Sorry my mistake, I did of course mean BD-RE and NOT BD-R (which I know is unerasable)

Well there's only a quick or full erase.

 

Quick just writes zeros to the first 1024 sectors.

 

Full erase will tell the drive to perform a 'full format' operation on the disc and will (assuming the 'prefer properly formatted discs' option is left enabled in the settings) then write zeroes to all sectors on the disc.

 

There's no way ImgBurn should *still* be displaying the volume label for the disc (when in Read mode) after that's happened.

Yes you are correct (sort of), Imgburn is retaining the volume label even if I switch to another mode, The volume label will change if I eject the disk and load it again - strange, it seems to happen with all BD-RE disks and also with DVD-RW too. Not really a big problem just a minor irritation really, I am so happy with Imgburn I have uninstalled all my other burning programs and now only use Imgburn - and I've donated too!

Do you have anything running in the background that could be caching this information?

 

I don't think your issue is related to ImgBurn at all.
