SirDavid Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I have Verbatim 100 gb BDXL discs by Mdisc on Asus BW-16D1HT drive using win xp pro sp3. Imgburn only sees 650 gb (665,690 mb) when I go to Write Files/Folders, but in Read mode it sees Free Space : 100,103,356,416 bytes. I haven't tried to burn one yet, because these discs are $20 each, but, presumably, if i burn it as is, I will lose about 1/3 of my disc capacity for some reason. Any ideas?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Post the disc info from the box on the right when you're in write mode please.
SirDavid Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 I typed this in by hand on my cell phone, so, to save time, I left off the labels. If you need more, I have to manually type it.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 That looks fine to me. Where exactly are you seeing the figures you mentioned earlier? At a guess, you're seeing the size of a 74 minute cd listed somewhere. That's nothing to do with the capacity of your disc. Also, it's ~ 650MB rather than ~ 100,000MB you've got on your disc. No where near 1/3rd
SirDavid Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Build mode Show disc layout editor Bottom of screen: 650.09 mib (665,690) free
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Yeah, that's probably showing its for a cd. It's telling you how much you've used and will adjust that size up to the next level of disc as you go beyond it. I.e. Cd -> DVD -> DVD DL -> BD -> BD DL etc.
SirDavid Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Does that mean I just need to keep track of the amount of data myself, and it will burn ok?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 No, you can use the 'calculate' tab back on the main screen for that. You do have the output mode set to 'device' and with the disc in the drive yeah? You can also uncheck the 'Automatic Target Media' checkbox in the bottom right of the DLE window and pick BD-R TL manually.
SirDavid Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 Ah. I didn't notice that little window. It's faded out, With the 650 MiB showing. Somehow it,s not picking up the media capacity.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I can't remember if it's supposed to or not. So long as it doesn't change to say BD-R QL, you know it'll fit on your TL disc.
