DVDAS 5.0 Make blu ray disc problem

Nel. wrote on 12/22/2015, 12:29 AM

I successfully burned One Blu ray with DVDAS 5.0 , but can't do it again...
When I want to burn, after 31 sec. I get "The burn completed successfully
Total Elapsed time 00.00.31sec etc...
There is nothing burned on the disc though. It is a 1h 36 m 43s
The correct BD drive is on....
it is a iso file when I check "prepared" folder...
Where is my problem ?
Thanks any one.

If you mount the .ISO file with say Virtual Clone Drive, does it play properly? Does it show a large m2ts file in the Stream folder?

After you confirm the ISO is okay, I would suggest using other software to burn it to the disk. Software such as IMGBURN will work well. sometimes better than DVDA itself.

+1 for ImgBurn!

Here's my free tutorial for installing the program (and avoiding its add-ons) as well as using it to burn both folders and ISOs to DVDs or BluRay discs.

Thanks Steve... I downloaded the program.. have not used it yet... because
Question.: My internal DVD drive is : Asus BW-12 1st, (Asus 11120)
My Blu ray discs are Taiyo Yuden JVC BD-R LTH x6
The Eject hesitates.... but finally opens... a window comes up to say there was a problem to eject... even though the disc is out....
And I am wondering if the speed is compatible with the the burner.... I saw x4 mentioned, but not x6.
I made several projects testing on BD-RE with no problems... the speed is x2
I am burning at the speed of x2 as I usually burn at half the speed specified on the disc....

Is it the culprit.... ?

The MEDIA is almost always the culprit! The Media!

A more detailed explain - the media is not compatible with the firmware presently installed on your burning drive.

Change the media!

I believe LTH disk require a specific drive to burn.

I would blame the drive before TY discs. BUT CHECK THE ISO FILE FIRST! if that is faulty it is neither the disc nor the drive.

For what I read... I should have stayed away from LTH....!!!
I wanted to test the drive with a verbatim BD-R.. x12 as specified with the Asus spec...
I can't find a store in my area that has one..!!!!

How and what do I look for in the iso... I have redone it several times...
Should I redo the whole DVDAS project.... or is it a setting in the pref i didn't do right...

Is it important to have the exact speed on the BD-R or can I get a slower one x6, x8 ?
( x12 is specified with the Asus spec.)

"How and what do I look for in the iso... "

If you download and install the free Virtual Clone Drive you can mount the ISO file so that it looks like an optical disk in a real optical drive. You can then play the "disc" as you would any other Blu-ray disc and look at its files such as the .m2ts files. The biggest such file will be the feature video than you can play with any BD player, such as VLC, MPC-HC, etc.

Success.... I made 3 more BD-r using Verbatim product.... so definitively the LTH x6 were the problem.....
I would like to find a ink jet printable version...
Verbatim DataLifePlus 25 GB 6x Blu-ray Single-Layer Recordable White Inkjet, Hub Printable Disc BD-R - 50 Disc Spindle IS THIS ANY GOOD OR BAD? I don't know about DatalifePlus
Merry Christmas to all

A quote from Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_recordable

"BD-R LTH (low to high)

BD-R LTH is a write-once Blu-ray Disc format that features an organic dye recording layer. "Low To High" refers to the reflectivity changing from low to high during the burning process, which is the opposite of normal.[vague] The advantage of BD-R LTH is it can protect a manufacturer's investment in DVD-R/CD-R manufacturing equipment.[why?] The manufacturer need only modify current equipment; it need not invest in new production lines.[citation needed] This is expected to lower the cost of disc manufacturing.[26]

Old Blu-ray players and recorders cannot utilize BD-R LTH; however, a firmware upgrade can enable devices to access BD-R LTH. Panasonic released such a firmware update in November 2007 for its DMR-BW200, DMR-BR100 and MR-BW900/BW800/BW700 models.[27] Pioneer was expected to ship the first LTH BD drives in Spring 2008.[28] Sony upgraded the PlayStation 3 firmware enabling BD-R LTH reading in March, 2008.[29]

In 2011, France's Ministry of Culture and Communication conducted a study on the suitability of data archival of LTH (low to high) discs compared to HTL (high to low) discs. The data they collected indicated that the overall quality of LTH discs is worse than HTL discs.[30][31]"

Is your BD player oldish? Perhaps it needs a firmware update.

In view of the last wiki comment I think that I would concur that it is better to stay away from LTH media.

My BD drive is 2 years old.... it is a writer only... but in the spec it mentionned BD-R LTH 4x... my BD-R are 6x.... Even though I chose x4 it was not accepted....
Anyhow I think I am a happy camper..... with Verbatim ... and hope the new VerbatimDatalife Plus spool will work fine for me....
Thanks again
