LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 What was the MID of the other discs you used? You have to ignore the brand name and go by that. It could be that you've actually tried the same ones twice.
xspankyxduckx Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 MID? these are the other disc I used http://www.amazon.com/ValueDisc-WHITE-INKJET-PRINTABLE-Spindle/dp/B00NT9MGRE?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 these are the first 1s http://www.amazon.com/Philips-White-Inkjet-Printable-Spindle/dp/B007A9NSR6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I 23:46:04 Destination Media Type: BD-R (Disc ID: CMCMAG-BA5-000) The Disc ID / MID (Manufacturer ID) is what's important here, not the brand name stamped on them. The MID is displayed in the box on the right before you click the 'Write' button.
dbminter Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Yeah, CMC is usually a bad sign. They're the worst optical disc manufacturer out there. If you had used the CMC's fine before, then it could be a variety of things. Or it could be something as simply as the brand name stamped on the box changed manufacturers. Not unheard of. Optodisc went from a quality DVD-R to CMC to going on my never buy from them again list.
xspankyxduckx Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 whats a good disc to use then? how do I know if they are CMC or not before I buy them?
dbminter Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Verbatim makes a good BD-R. At least the ones I've used have been all the same kind made by Verbatim. Unfortunately, you won't know who makes them until you open the package. The seller who puts their label on the package doesn't want you to know this information because if you did, you wouldn't buy the cheaper manufacturers which they make the most profit on. DataLifePlus is usually Verbatim's top of the line brand, but you will only find those online. However, the Verbatim branded BD-R's have the same DID/MID as the DataLifePlus BD-R. Verbatim does use CMC for their single layer BD-RE's. However, the branded BD-R I found at Best Buy and Office Depot brick and mortar stores had the same DID/MID as the DataLifePlus BD-R I got off of Amazon.com.

It usually contains the seller's logo, speed, and size. Those BD-R's you linked from Amazon.com I have used before. In fact, I last ordered them February 1st, 2015. They have the exact same MID/DID as the DataLifePlus inkjet Verbatim BD-R I started using after those. I had only 1 problem with one burn using those discs. I had a Verify fail with a miscompare because it said the file wasn't there. My first miscompare I can ever remember encountering with ImgBurn. So, I'd say give those a shot and see if your problem improves. If it doesn't improve, since those Verbatims if they have VERBATIM in the DID/MID should be known good ones, then I'd say your drive might be the problem and could need replacing. My first Blu-Ray burner was a junk LiteOn and needed replacing after 3 months. LiteOn no longer makes Blu-Ray burners so it goes to show you how crap they were to begin with.

dbminter Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Unfortunately, what tends to happen with drives that fail is they'll burn everything else fine EXCEPT for one type of media. Normally, it's DVD DL's because of the layer break. When my drives fail burning DVD+R DL's, they burn everything else fine. That LiteOn Blu-Ray that failed burned everything else but stopped writing BD-RE's after only 3 months. However, it also had a problem of randomly inserting pauses into DVD+R DL DVD Video discs that weren't layer breaks. BUT, LiteOn DVD burners also randomly do that, too. One of the reasons I stopped buying anything from LiteOn.

dbminter Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 My main experience with semaphore time period expiration errors is I don't get power calibration errors along with them. I've seen that you get them right away, at the start of a burn, before anything is even written to disc. It's caused by the USB bridge in external drives and some kind of conflict with your controller on the motherboard. It generally is only fixed by replacing the external drive. However, to get it with another error is new to me. Is this external drive a slim model? If so, slims are generally junk. Since you've tried both good Verbatim and bad CMC discs, the problem is most likely with your drive. I'd look into replacing it.
xspankyxduckx Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 its this 1 http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-External-Blu-ray-SE-506CB-RSBD/dp/B00JJGFRIQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1461996810&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+blu+ray+drive i guess it is a slim any suggestion on a good burner?
dbminter Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Yeah, that's a slim. If you want an external Blu-Ray burner, I only have experience with 1. http://www.amazon.com/External-Blu-Ray-BW-12D1S-U-BLK-AS/dp/B0051UY168?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 That's the one I use. After testing it, I only found 1 thing it wouldn't write to: 6x Ritek DVD-RW. But, ONLY LiteOns and Optiarcs ever wrote to those.
xspankyxduckx Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 whats the difference with this 1? http://www.amazon.com/Blu-ray-Burning-Speed-External-BW-12D1S-U/dp/B00M2UJN6I/ref=pd_cp_147_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0RX10SB9N8RPJ6W2332P I know nothing of the specs
dbminter Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 According to the reviews and the answered questions for both drives, the two main differences are mine includes a stand so that the drive can be used vertically and the one you linked to doesn't. It can only be used horizontally. The other major difference is the one you linked to apparently doesn't include the software necessary to play back Blu-Ray video discs with. So, it apparently doesn't include any Cyberlink PowerDVD software. That's probably why, most likely, the drive you linked to is significantly cheaper, too. So, if you don't need the drive to stand up vertically or you don't need an installer for the software to play back Blu-Ray video discs, you might as well go for the one you linked to because it is cheaper. As far as I can tell, physically, the drives specs are probably the same.
