MediaRange BD-R XL (VERBAT-IMk-000)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi! I've opened a new Topic on a storage media I recently got my hands on.

This one is an entirely another beast, triple layered with even smaller channel bit lenght (you'll see the values in the DISC INFO folder I'll share below) compared to the previsiouly discussed MediaRange BD-R SL (CMCMAG-BA5-000).
The story of this is that I needed a resilient storage media for a movie but considering the size of it I needed to find something of 100GB or even 128GB capacity(like the BD-R Sony released in Japan a few years ago). Of course I didn't find the 128GB BD-R variant in local stores (which has 4 layers not 3 like this one) so I went and made a list of BD-R XL 100GB variants from multiple stores. Best offer on price/disc was obiviously on spindle packages, which I didn't want to buy because I needed only one, but I remembered this disc also comes in crystal cases so I got just that variant even though the disc was a tiny bit more expensive, 10.64$ with shipping.

Like I did for the MediaRange BD-R SL (CMCMAG-BA5-000) in my previsious Topic, I compiled in folders the burning process, logs, photos and snapshots of various burn quality research programs (I plan to add soon Error Checking scans from QPxTool on this disc and all the discs from MediaRange BD-R SL which I've burned until now).
You have below the Google Drive links of my research's results, so if anyone sees the information I provide here as useful and actually tries to work with these discs more than I did, tell me how it went in the thread.

Here is the data of the driver I've used to burn these discs with.
(maybe relevant to those who burn the same discs but with another writer and have, or not, issues with the discs afterwards)

NOTE 1: Before burning this disc I've flashed the driver with another firmware from ASUSDE_ASUS_BW-16D1HT_3.10_MK (MK comes from MakeMKV, their community changed the firmware a bit so we can flash it and to have all regions along with the writing/reading speed unlocked).
NOTE 2: I will provide the QPxTool scans for Error Checking below in this Topic quite a while later, since it's very tedious to do, but I hope they help.
NOTE 3: The ImgBurn logs will be added not only here but also to my previsious Topic for MediaRange BD-R SL (CMCMAG-BA5-000).
NOTE 4: Any ideas of how I could research the discs further would be an awesome help 😥
THANKS FOR READING!
