Successfull burn of Blu-Ray but no players see it.

I burned a Blu-Ray and DVD Arc said it was successfully.

When I go to play it in my "Cyberlink Blu-Ray Disc Suite" it
says no disc in drive. I looked at the disc and can see that
in fact something was burned on the disc.

I open the disc in explorer and it shows "0 Bytes used space" and "0 Bytes free space" It will let me drag and drop items to the disc. Strange!

Media used - Verbatim BD-R 6x speed. Ive used this before and it has worked.

(Note: when I go to create the disc in DVDA it gives me three of the same speed burning options 2x,2x, and 2x. My burner goes up to 8x and the disc say up to 6x)

I tried;
Windows Media Player
Cyberlink Power DVD even thought it was working
recently.
Real Player
Quicktime

The only updates I do are for windows 7 64 bit that
windows has in their update page and updates for
vegas. DVDA etc

Perhaps that is the problem. I just dont know. I cannot
go that far back with system restore.

The firmware checker from LG does not say it needs to be updated. I tried to find the correct firmware with no luck.

Any ideas? I have to many expensive coasters and not enough drinks for them all.
For those who don't use the term Coasters=bad disc

Instead of DVDA, try ImgBurn (free) to make the disc. http://www.imgburn.com/. It gives good diagnostic log information on what is going on with the drive. You can point it at the directory where DVDA has placed the file and use the BD iso disc image file. Use ImgBurn to do the job. Some of us only use DVDA to author but never to burn.

Otherwise, use a rewritable BD until you get a working burn. If you do much of this, it pays for itself soon.

It does that for me and others too. Another reason to use ImgBurn.

If ImgBurn also gives you a coaster, I would suggest that you may have a hardware fault, such as weak laser.

Thanks for the replies. I will give it a try. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna buy a new one.
