Hi, Rob W: > Seems to be working for growisofs. > 12058624/15635996672 ( 0.1%) @0.1x, remaining 518:15 RBU 100.0% UBU 50.0%
I hate to spoil your joy of success but this looks still quite unhealthy. Formatted BD-R are darn slow in respect to their size. Nevertheless your speed 0.1x is less than 1 MB per second. Even with poor media you should get something like 0.4x to 1.0x and it should vary from report line to report line. Another suspicious info is UBU 50.0%. That means the drive is hungry for data or it decided not to use half of its built-in buffer memory. Did the burn really last 500 minutes ? Mine (with an older drive and 2x BD-R) last about 80 minutes formatted or 40 minutes unformatted (resp. with Streaming bit set in the write command). Can it be the drive is attached to a USB 1 controller ? (Those are not even fast enough for DVD burning.) ------------------------------------------------ I still do not believe that the difference between success and failure here is in the burn programs used. I would bet that one can get similar success from cdrecord and get the known failures from growisofs if one only tries often enough. (We shall not forget the failure with CentOS and NeroLinux and the success on MS-Windows.) A first challenge would be to unplug and replug the drive and to test whether it still works with growisofs afterwards. It would be interesting to see whether growisofs on the CentOS x86 machine performs better with the drive. I assume it is a PC not older than five years and thus equipped with USB 2.
