BD-RE Problem

[Bazza-61]

i have a sony 25g BD-RE which i use to test my backups on before finaly burning to a BD-R, i have been using image burn and put a movie onto this BD-RE and it will no longer play in my PS3 yet the information still shows up on the disc on my PC.
i have even reformatted the disc as a UDF 2.50. i have also used nero, its like the disc isnt finalising even though the programs have these ticked to do so.

any help on this would be great.

Is that correct?

" I 08:54:40 Write Speed: 2.4x"

Also, did you (fully) format the disc before the burn?

[Bazza-61]

" I 08:54:40 Write Speed: 2.4x"


Hi Chef, yes i would say that is correct as i did a copy and past.
i have done a full format a few times as well as a few quick formats.

or what i should say is i used image burn to do a full erase, and ive tried a format through windows and neither worked yet it was fine the couple of time before.

[[_chef_]]

Do you have another one of this media, same type, same specs, to try with?
Maybe your burner just has a problem with this specific media now because of the usage so far?!

You've got spare areas enabled there (can tell by the size of the disc).

Maybe the PS3 wants a disc formatted without them?

[RabidDog]

How old is the PS3? How old is the BD-re? What make/brand is the BD-re? Just coz you paid ($$big bucks$$) for the disk dont expect it to last for ever ... I have thrown away quite a few CD/rw and DVD/rw when they went bad, it happens.
Lens cleaner, Different disc (BD/RE) should all be tried.
Has this procedure worked previously? have you installed anything new (hrd/soft) on your PC? drivers? were you eating Nachos or performing other bodily functions? (Clean hands lead to a Clean Mind leads to a Clean BUrn)

[Bazza-61]

thanks guys ill turn off spare area's although that must be on as default.
my PS3 is 2years old second release was 40gig model but i put a 500gig in, the disc is 2 months old and worked fine for the first 4-5 burns played in the PS3 fine, i allways clean my disc's before use, ive tried a DVD re-writeable and that works fine so i guess it must be the disc
i was using image burn until it didnt work so i updated to latest release and that didnt work either.
so short of buying another BD-RE at $20 i could try ringing sony or try it in another machine.
