dbminter Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Got my first BD-RE DL today. I fully erased it and got 2 Warning notices in the log. Thought I'd pass along the log and see if it's something that needs to be addressed: I 17:06:04 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!I 17:06:04 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Edition (6.1, Build 7601 : Service Pack 1)I 17:06:04 Total Physical Memory: 8,370,632 KiB - Available: 5,838,284 KiBI 17:06:04 Initialising SPTI...I 17:06:04 -> Drive 5 - Info: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-209M 1.10-ID60 (S:) (SATA)I 17:07:07 Operation Started!I 17:07:07 Device: [0:0:0] PIONEER BD-RW BDR-209M 1.10 (S:) (SATA)I 17:07:07 Media Type: BD-RE (Disc ID: VERBAT-IM1-000)I 17:07:07 Media Supported Write Speeds: 2xI 17:07:07 Quick Erase: NoI 17:07:07 Format Properly: YesI 17:07:07 Format Size: PreferredI 17:07:07 Format With Full Certification: YesI 17:07:07 Format Without Spare Areas: YesI 17:07:07 Erasing Disc...W 17:07:07 FormatDisc(FT: 0x31, FST: 0x02) Not Supported!W 17:07:07 FormatDisc(FT: 0x31, FST: 0x03) Not Supported!I 17:07:32 Operation Successfully Completed! - Duration: 00:00:24I 17:07:32 Operation Started!I 17:07:32 Device: [0:0:0] PIONEER BD-RW BDR-209M 1.10 (S:) (SATA)I 17:07:32 Media Type: BD-RE (Disc ID: VERBAT-IM1-000)I 17:07:32 Media Supported Write Speeds: 2xI 17:07:32 Media Sectors: 24,438,784I 17:07:32 BD-RE FastWrite: NoI 17:07:32 Zeroing Sectors...I 18:41:29 Synchronising Cache...I 18:41:33 Operation Successfully Completed! - Duration: 01:33:57 - Total Duration: 01:34:22I 18:41:33 Average Write Rate: 8,670 KiB/s (2.0x)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 That just means your drive doesn't support doing full certification - hence why it only took 24 seconds for the drive to do its thing.
dbminter Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 What exactly does full certification do and how much time might it have added to the process?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I assume it makes the drive verify the sectors on the disc and check they can be read (or perhaps written). It's probably a variation of the drives auto verify when writing if spare areas are enabled. It would probably have doubled the total time it took.
