    Write setting

    Hi, recently bought a blu-ray burner. I backed up a few of my movies and it seemed to work fine. I'm using memorex bd-r 25gb. The last 3 burn I tried failed around 98% from being finished. I checked the write setting and notice that for bd-r 25gb, the default setting is 23.7gb. Does this mean a 25gb bd-r can not really hold 25gb of data? If this is true, does this mean I can't have more than 23.7gb of data to fit on a 25gb disc? If I change the setting to 25gb, will this help? Thank you..

    Correct, they cannot. Like DVDs, the manufacturers figure the value of a gigabyte differently to make the discs seem larger. A "4.7 GB" single layer DVD actually only holds 4.38 GB of data etc. Leave the setting at 23.7, DVDFab will compress the content to make it fit. The problem may be the blanks you are using. Post the DVDFab internal and burn logs from one of the failed burns.

      For and example a 50gb disc will only format to 45.1!! And yes its most likley the media you are using!! its not even memorex! They sub out to the lowest bidder and put there name on it! If you check out AWS in ImgBurn you will see that exact manufacture of the disc!!

        For what it's worth:
        I use lots of Memorex discs, both br-25's and dvd +r-dl, the trick I 've found is burn SLOW....... Br-25's burn at 2X, dvd+r-dl's burn at 2.4X, this is with LG burners, which I have found to be far superior to others. I will maybe get 5 coasters out of 100 disks, which when figured at what I have paid for them, NOT TOO BAD !!!!!
        My 2 cents, Stu

          Verbatim with AZO Dye from newegg $23.99 free shipping not bad deal. I'm in Canada and last 100 disc spindle I bought from Future Shop paid $19.99 and zero coasters. Still have 300 more. The Taiyo Yuden I use out of 2,000 I have got Zero coasters but I pay about $40 per 100 disc spindle with shipping for them. Since these are top of the line media they will last for years and will not be problematic 6 or 12 months later when I try to play them like TDK, Imation and others I used to use back in 2005 when I never knew the difference

          Have not burned any Blu-ray media yet so not know what is good or bad for them

            So I should pay attention not to pass the 23.7gb when burning to 25gb disc. Is there a setting to warn me that there's not enough disc space before burning? On the ones that I was successful with, before the burn process started, I got a message telling me that the media detected is a bd-r 50gb and only a 25gb disc is needed and would I like to continue? Why is it reading 50gb when it's only 25gb?

                That seems to be a bug!! And I used to get the same popup every once in a blue moon!! But select OK and let it do its thing!! Your burn will be ok!

                    You will find that many models of LG burners can burn them at 8X. If you are conservative and burn them at 4X you will still double your speed. I use 4X with these on my LG burner and never get a coaster.

                    Compatibility List:
                    Burner Brand (speed) Model Firmware Max. Burning Speed
                    LG (6x) GGW-H20L YL05 4x
                    LG (8x) BH08NS20 1.00 8x
                    LG (10x) WH10LS30K 1.00 8x
                    PANASONIC (2x) SW-5582 - 2x
                    PANASONIC (4x) SW-5583 1049 4x
                    PANASONIC (8x) SW-5584 - 4x
                    PHILIPS & LITE-ON (4x) DH-4B1S 7112 4x
                    PIONEER (4x) BDR-202 1.08 4x
                    PIONEER (8x) BDR-203 1.05 8x
                    PIONEER (12x) BDR-205 1.03 10x
                    SONY (2x) BWU100S - 2x
                    SONY (4x) BWU200S - 4x
                    SONY (8x) BWU300S - 4x

                    Kodak:



                    Optical Quantum:



                    These are both available at Amazon.com too, although you will pay a little more.
