Well I just received the new LG burner because my ASUS was acting up (not
ejecting properly and other issues).

Also, I was NEVER able to burn dual layer Bluray discs with the ASUS even
though it was supposed to. I tried everything, including REAL cdrecord
(compiled myself), but the burn would always fail when switching layers.

Since the drive had an issue and I had to spend some $$$, it was time to
try again with the new LG WH14NS40.

I first tried backing up my pictures (~40GB), with xfburn because I wanted
to use libburn as the fork of the cdrecord apps are known to have issues.
Not sure what the problem was but after spinning up a bunch of times it
just crapped out with an unhelpful error.

Next I tried Brasero, which also failed miserably.

Finally I tried k3b which used mkisofs and it actually worked! Switched
layers fine, finished, and verified. For posterity I specified a UDF based
filesystem.

Googling I see so little useful information about burning dual layer Bluray
discs on Linux I figured I'd mention it here for anyone else interested.

Thanks,
Richard
