So I'm having a problem with my GGW-H20L burner.
No issues when burning cd's and dvd's but every time I try to burn to the included BD-RE disc, the device buffer crashes...to around 15-20%. It's telling me a complete 25gb disc will take about 50 hours. Any idea why that would be?
I have some BD-R's but I'm worried about wasting a $5 blank on something that might be a hardware problem.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

Check for a firmwire update.

Are you authoring a bluray format video disc? Is it in spec? If you are burning just data it shouldn't take that long I imagine. Of course I only have a bluray rom not a burner so I dont' have personal experience.
I would make sure you are authoring correctly if you are burning a bluray video format disc. There is a chance the program you are using is reencoding the video if it is not compliant.
If this is slow data burning not video I am not sure what the problem might be.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -

Sheesh. -
Well, this thread may have to be moved to a software forum.
It turns out the problem isn't with the burner: it's the RE disc.
I tried to burn the same files onto a write-once BD-R and no problems. Burned at 6x and played perfectly on my pS3.
So now what could be the problem with the RE disc? I've tried erasing it with 3 different programs, figuring that might be the problem. Still nothing. THe best that I got was it taking about 3-4 hours to burn one film. I think that's burning at about .75, possibly. Still nowhere near 2x. -
Wrong brand, not supported or just a BAD DISC.

I guess my question is whether any programs have problems erasing these bd-re discs, since it is new technology and everything. Is there any evidence of it being a problem?
Are these discs guaranteed? -

Doubled only on RE? -
This is the drive that I had to return to LG for repair 3 times. 3 TIMES!!!
It never completed a burning process. I finally sold it on ebay and bought a Pioneer and installed it in my Mac Pro.
