Looks like 2x BD speed with Defect Management enabled. This makes really long run times. But well, i would not dare to run a BD-R DL without Defect Management. It is just too big and too expensive to risk entire failure with a single bad spot. > /dev/sr1: flushing cache > /dev/sr1: closing track > /dev/sr1: closing session > :-[ CLOSE SESSION failed with SK=5h/INVALID FIELD IN CDB]: Input/output Such a message is rarely harmless.

No chance to verify any data this way. I see two possible reasons of failure here: - MMC which rules the writing of data to the media. - UDF which rules the reading of file tree and the access to file contents. To check the correctness of the MMC writing process, compare the whole media content with your image file dd if=/dev/sr1 bs=2048 count=20971520 | \ diff - /video/oldc_backup.udf If this verifies correctly, then UDF mount is to blame. Possibly it does not find its superblock. For help with UDF checking you will probably have to look at some other mailing list. ------------------------------------------------ Said that, i want to mention that ISO 9660 is well able to host files larger than 4 GB and that current Linux can read such big files out of ISO images correctly. (Older Linux cannot.) My program xorriso produces such images and/or burns them to media. Given the price of BD-R DL and the fact that i never burned such a media, i would advise that you eventually make two BD-RE or BD-R rather than one BD-R DL. xorriso would be able to read the ISO filesystem independently of the Linux mount facility. So in case of problems, one would have more chance to find out what's wrong, and in case of Linux bugs one would be able to retrieve files from a sane ISO image.
