bartleyjimmy Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Evening, I am having problems burning Verbatium d/l blu rays. the disks burn successfully and play fine. That's until, I presume when it gets to the layer break and then sticks for a minute or a couple of scenes. It then plays fine for the remainder of the disk. I am only guessing it's at the layer break. For example on most films which are 2hrs in total, it pretty much happens at 1hr 10 mins. These files (Star Wars!) are about 44 gb each. Is there any tweaking or setting I need to change? Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 There is nothing you can do with the layer break on a Blu-ray disc. You treat them as if they never existed in the first place. If your player is having trouble reading them, I can only assume the burn quality wasn't all that. Post the log from you burning+verifying such a disc please.

bartleyjimmy Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Sorry, schoolboy error! It appears from the log I obviously don't know what I am talking about with the layer break! I hope you can shed some light on it as it happening on most disks. Thanks again I 19:03:14 Operation Started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Ah see now any sort of write error on a BD-RE is an issue. Although the retries are successful, chances are that the actual position of the error was not at the position the drive eventually errored out at - it's all due to the drives internal buffer complicating things - so the sectors ImgBurn successfully retried weren't ever the issue anyway. At this point I'd probably say to do another full erase on the disc and try again. Make sure you re-enable the 'Verify' option so the program can check your drive did an ok job of burning the disc and that all the data is present and correct. Your player is stuttering because some of it is missing/incorrect. If it has to retry anything during that new write, go into the settings and uncheck the 'Prefer Format Without Spare Areas' option on the Write tab. Then do another full erase and try burning it again. If it still fails to burn nicely after that, try another disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartleyjimmy Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks, will give this a try. As this is the same on all of the Star Wars films I have burned so far (4 different disks), I wonder if it's worth going straight to full erase and uncheck the 'Prefer Format Without Spare Areas' option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
