ASUS BW-16D1HT and BD-R DL (VERBAT-IMf-000)

Hi!

I just burned a BD-R DL disc (VERBAT-IMf-000) on my ASUS BW-16D1HT (patched with MakeMKV's LibreDrive firmware) for the first time and the results have not been very good. The disc verification failed when ImgBurn started verifying Layer 1. I was able to copy all the data back to my SSD and I even compared the original files with WinMerge to check if the data was corrupted, but all files matched, so all the data on the disc is correct. I also noticed that the BD-R DL disc has some dots/spots on the burnable surface. All the BD-R DL discs I burned with my previous drive (the ASUS BW-12B1ST with VERBAT-IMf-000 discs) don't have these weird dots/spots on their surfaces. Here are two photos:

Is my drive faulty? Are the discs faulty?

If my drive is faulty, I would like to know a good burner that can be patched with a LibreDrive firmware. Apparently, only ASUS and LG-Hitachi drives are compatible with LibreDrive, and I haven't read good reviews from LG-Hitachi drives in this forum. Apparently, Pioneer drives are great, but they are not compatible with LibreDrive.

 

Thanks!
