So it looks that for some reason the drive refuses to write to the second layer. I can spot in growisofs_mmc.cpp that DVD+R DL get an explicit layer break position. But this seems not to be true for BD-R DL. (Especially since BD-R DL have the same profile code as BD-R, unlike with DVD+R and DVD+R DL which differ. So growisofs is likely to treat both BD-R types exactly the same.) Regrettably i cannot affort to do own BD-R DL tests. > (I haven't any BD-RE DL, so the next thing is to try cdrskin, We'll see what happens then. (I am not overly optimistic.) > or removing -use-the-force-luke=spare:none) This would format the blank medium before writing. I have drives and BD-R media which work together only unformatted. Maybe it is vice versa with your drive and media: only formatted. (Equivalent with cdrskin would be option blank=format_if_needed cdrskin does not format BD-R by default. ) My own problems were with LTH media (aka organic dye). I cannot spot in the web, whether VERBAT/IMf can be LTH. But if your media or their sales box show the the letters "LTH", then you should try to purchase non-LTH for the next test. > INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][BD-RW BDR-206D][1.56] Well, i had a BDR-205 for about 9 months until it went bad with BD-R in general. In the beginning it wrote to LTH BD-R, then it spoiled those, later it spoiled non-LTH BD-R too. I could return it to the merchant and got a Optiarc BD RW BD-5300S in exchange. This one can write a few sessions to LTH before it finally spoils them. No problems with non-LTH media. (I also got an older LG BD-RE GGW-H20L which is fine but flatly refuses on LTH media.) Given the prices of BD burners and BD-R DL, it might be smart to buy a cheap new burner if blank BD-R DL media are left after the next round of experiments. (The Optiarc burner was sold for 60 Euro ~= 80 USD.) Please keep me informed about any new insight which you gain about the BD-R DL problem. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to cdwrite-requ...@other.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
