Thanks Jan70 for posting those DVD-R scans. The Verbatim 8x DVD-R Archival looks great based on the TA jitter plots.

I'm thinking about a blu-ray burner, maybe the GGW-H20L, or something else if it's better. So far it looks like no blu burners report actual error rates or jitter data from BD-R or BD-RE media, is that right? So how do we know what media and what burner works best, or is most widely compatible with players?

It seems like the early DVD-R days again, where it was anyone's guess what media, from what burners, would actually play back reliably.

That's a really good question, i haven't seen any software that can do the job that clonedvd2 does, or am i wrong?

_chef_

Depends on what "BD" means...

hello everybody

does anyone know what is the media code for BD-RE Lg blank Media?

I found several possibility to buy them on the net but impossible to know who is the manufacturer of this blank media ?

Screen of the media show 1x/2x 25gb BD-RE and nothing else.
The list of blank media supported on the 1st page do not show LG

Thanks for your help.

zevia

Posted info about the LG BD-RE media here: http://club.cdfreaks.com/f142/lg-2x-...-000-a-243523/
The MID is LGEBRE-S01-000, it is listed in ala42 table in the first page for firmware YL01 (here), so it's safe to have it.

2601, thanks for the Verbatim BD-R scans. The graph doesn't look good in the first 8GB, although I know that CDSpeed's calculation on LDC and BIS is not final yet, but at least from the scale we can see a raise in errors for the first 8GB. The Scandisc and TRT looks good. Still too early to intrepret the scans though.

I am very disappointed that that my Verbatim DVD+R DL (Made in Singapore) MKM001 are burnt at 2.4x. My old Pioneer burner was burning them at 6x.
Anybody found a way to fix this problem?

_chef_

Ask Verbatim why they sell Dl 2.4x MII and then you have the answer.

Anyone luck with burning Verbatim blu-ray, media code: VERBAT-IMa-00 ?

Nero and imgburn refuses to burn (firmware YLO2)

altern8

Hmm, i see that 2601 has posted a dvdinfo screenshot.. with firmware YLO3. I'll try that first. Didn't know there was a firmware update.

edit: yaay! That works!
