I would blame the cheap CMC discs.

 

I 12:25:08 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: CMC MAG-D03-64)

 

CMC Magnetics makes the worst optical disc media out there.  I'm actually more amazed your burn COMPLETED and Verify PASSED with CMC media than just outright failing, failing to complete burn, or failing to complete Verify at the layer change.

 

The only viable option for DVD+R DL is the Verbatim DataLife Plus/AZO ones.  NOT the Life Series DVD+R DL you find in brick and mortar stores.  Those are the CMC crap.  The DataLife Plus/AZO are the MKM media made by Mitsubishi.  And those you generally only find in online stores like Amazon.com.

After lurking the forums and your response as well, i agree. I screwed up and got the wrong "Verbatims".

I have some legit Verbatims coming in the mail, ill report back to see if they make a difference.

Sigh, why must it be difficult to relive the good ol" days. 

[dbminter]

Well, unfortunately, it's getting worse.  Pioneer pulled out of the optical disc burner market altogether, basically leaving only 2 big name players in the business: ASUS and LG.

 

As for CMC, it could be worse.  I sunk about $2,000 chasing bad burns with new discs, burners, and DVD video recorders before I stumbled across the existence of CMC somewhere else.  So, I checked the discs that had worked fine for years, and, sure enough, OptoDisc changed manufacturers to CMC, which was the cause of the problem.  Once I switched to the good Verbatim DVD-R from Mitsubishi (The MCC kind.  NOT the CMC kind.), the problem resolved itself.

Asus OEM's drives from LG. so LG is the only manufacturer of blu ray burners. also i noticed LG not selling their drives on Amazon. the only drives i see from them is newegg, which is weird since i always see lg on amazons website, they also raised their prices on their external burners.

extra info.

ASUS's BW-16D1HT is not an LG drive as far as I can tell.

 

Hm, I hadn't checked on the WH16NS40 for a while on Amazon, but there are only a few resellers charging WAY too much for it when for the same price you can get ASUS's better drive.  And something called the WH14NS40 is available from a few resellers at ridiculously worthless prices, too.

[ultramegaburningenthiseist]

i actually bought the wh14n40 last year for like 50 bucks new on amazon when it was on sale. even buying it for 60 on newegg feels like a scam.

btw i sold the wh14ns40 drive for the wh16ns58 (for BD scanning ability)

its obvious its an LG drive that Asus OEMed since the structure is the same and the pcb is the same. the only difference is firmware. even that you could flash the firmware from the LG's into the asus and it will work fine since it has the same chipset.

my only guess to the price hike is tariffs but that might kill the blu ray industry if they keep raising prices.

I'd not heard of the WH16NS58.  Last I had heard, LG had discontinued the WH16NS60, leaving only the NS40.  Which was a shame as last I used the NS40, it did not properly write to DL BD media, whereas the NS60 did.  I used to use the NS60 exclusively over the NS40 for that reason.  I still have 2 NS60's in reserve.

 

There aren't even any listed firmware updates for the WH16NS58 on LG's web site.
