Verbatim BD-RW-DL

[Kevro869]

I burned a 46BG rar file to a Verbatim BD-RW DL. When I try to copy the file back to the PC it chokes at exactly 50%. I tried 2 different drives and they both error out at 50%. I'm guessing it can't or won't read the second layer? I've tried burning the disc on 2 different drives with the same result. I believe I used UDF 2.60 file system...

Verify when you burn and post the log please.

The sad fact of the matter is Verbatim BD-RE DL are not good quality.  I used to use them.  I would write something to them as a yearly backup.  I would then write the next year's backup to a disc that had worked and it failed to write to the disc.  So, those discs aren't warranted for longer term storage.

 

Also, what burner were you using?  (The requested Log would tell us.)  If you're using the WH16NS40, be aware that though they said they wrote to BD-RE DL, they never did it right in the time I was using them.

 

Failing to read at 50% is indicative of the layer change.  The layer change on any multi-layer media is the point of highest failure rate.
