Problem burning a dual layer bluray

[jaimedm]

Hello, I was trying to burn a 37gb ISO and, while it seemed like it had been burnt right, the player can't read the movie after 2 thirds of it.

My drive is a LG BH16NS55 and the media used was a MediaRange BD-R DL 50GB 6x (MR506). I need to know if the problem is of the drive, the media or the player before spending more money on discs.

 

Here's the log:

Well, it is made by CMC Magnetics, the worst manufacturer of optical discs out there.  I've not had any experience with their BD-R because I always return CMC junk.  Their DVD and CD are notoriously known for causing all kinds of problems.  Most of the problems on this board are caused by CMC media.  However, I can't magically say your issue will go away if you switch to something like say Verbatim.  It could be your player doesn't like that type of disc or it doesn't like dual layer BD-R to begin with.

 

 

Oh, dear, CMC is now making BD-R DL.  I was hoping it was a good sign that Verbatim wasn't using CMC for BD-RE DL because they weren't making them due to the fact that there may not be enough return on investment.  e.g. they can't make them cheap enough.    This could mean that CMC will start making BD-RE DL and Verbatim will switch to them like they have for all their BD-RE.  Verbatim BD-RE DL used to be safe from CMC, with Verbatim itself making them or farming them out to TDK, which is pretty good.

Did you perform a Verify after the burn and did it complete without erroring out?

 

 

Have you tried playing this disc on your PC if you have software that supports Blu-Ray playback?  Testing at the point where it fails on your player to see if it fails on PC, too?  If it plays on PC, PC's are more forgiving than standalone players.  If your PC plays it, then, it's an issue with the standalone player.  It either doesn't like CMC BD-R DL or it doesn't like BD-R DL to begin with.  I've heard some stories where dual layer BD media doesn't play on some players at all.  I know the PS3 has no problems with Verbatim's made BD-RE DL.
