Bluray XL Drive

[LIGHTNING UK!]

I said I've never seen a drive that couldn't write BD-RE but could write BD-R.

[Adrianvdh]

No I meant that you can only get BD-RE & BD-ROM drives and you cant get BD-R drives?

[Adrianvdh]

Get how crazy is this I have a BD-RE drive and i have never in my life burnt a Bluray Disc

[Adrianvdh]

whould be a good investment if a buy a Pioneer BDR-207M rather or a newer model?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

The 207M *is* the new model.

[Adrianvdh]

But should I get the Pioneer BDR-207M instead because is supports BD-XL disc (BD-R TL & BD-R QL)

But can you get BD-RE QT media?

 

Oh ok

 

so I shoul rather go with the Liteon and wait until BD-R XL tec becomes mature?

The BDXL discs are stupidly expensive... so personally, I wouldn't bother.

 

You ask too many questions that you could find answers to yourself by using Google. Don't be so lazy.

 

and I told you before about editing posts to combine sequential questions / answers. Use the 'Edit' button. There should be no reason for you to have 2 posts in a row like #31 and #32

Why are you quoting yourself and including things you've never said before in the quote?

 

Forums aren't that hard to use, just get to grips with how the BB code tags work. Stuff between the 'quote' and '/quote' tags goes into the grey quote block.

[Adrianvdh]

Because I edited it into my old message and bur it was before you message?!

 

 

But can you get BD-RE QL media and how much would it cost for BD XL media because i Googled it and I just has BD SL & BD DL media not BD XL media

Keep Googling, you have access to exactly the same info I do.

[Adrianvdh]

So can BD-R media be erased? If so but cant this media only be writen once?

BD-R discs can be written to once, whereas BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Recordable Erasable) can be erased and re-recorded multiple times.

[Adrianvdh]

So how come in ImgBurn you can erase BD-R discs?

Im very confused!

[LIGHTNING UK!]

How can you be confused?!

 

CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R and BD-R *cannot* be erased and therefore you can only write to them once.

 

CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and BD-RE *can* be erased and therefore you can write to them several times.

[Adrianvdh]

Again, how can you erase BD-R media?

 

CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R and BD-R *cannot* be erased and therefore you can only write to them once.

 

CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and BD-RE *can* be erased and therefore you can write to them several times.

 

 

ImgBurn allows it in the erase feature!!!

That's different, it's not erasing it, it's just formats it to enable spare areas and defect management.

[Adrianvdh]

oh so to makes the disc ready for a burn then?

Edited October 5, 2012 by Adrianvdh

[LIGHTNING UK!]

To make it ready for a special type of burn. Normally you wouldn't ever do it.
