Vanbursta Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Well I managed to get a workaround for the Volume ID, but now I've run into another problem. I am trying to full format some BD-RE disks and imgburn hangs my PC at 99%, I left it for 8 hours on 99% and it didn't get any further, I had to physically shut down the PC. Odd thing is I have tried the same with Power2Go 7 and it completes the (full) format in about 40 minutes. Firstly I thought it might be my drive, but imgburn does the same on another PC with a BD drive. I have read the double layer FAQs (although these are single layer 2.3x BD-REs) and am not sure that the BD-REs I am using are any good, they are shown in Imgburn as CMCMAG V3 2.3x, I have successfully erased a disk using p2g7 then used imgburn to burn data to it and the verify completed successfully and they work in 4 different BD drives, anybody have any thoughts? Should I just bin the disks or is there something I am missing in Imgburn which would explain this? Edited May 23, 2012 by Vanbursta
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Other programs may handle formatting differently. You can't really do a direct comparison between them. If ImgBurn hasn't even got to the 'Zeroing Sectors' phase, the drive is still in complete control of the format. By that I mean ImgBurn has issued the 'format' command and the drive goes off and does its thing. All ImgBurn then does is provide basic feedback on % complete - based on what the drive reports. Copy + paste where you're up to from the log window please.
