Disc Burner Problems

[bobbyd]

Created a project 1020X1080 - 29.97 - Upper Field - Aspect 16:9 - 10 Bit

Created BMVD folders
Unchecked compile disk image to folder and now create disk is grayed out.
Went to tools - disc burner selected the BMVD folder. Create disc is still grayed out.
Media Type: Media does not support writing.
Using BD-R 6X. Burner is LG 16X Super Multi Blue BH 16
Compatible with all BD/DVD/CD formats

Running Edius 7 Latest upgrade
Dell i3847 i7

Any help appreciated.
Thank You

Change your project to 8 bit,
10 bit is not in the Bluray specs

I did change it to 8bit and it made no difference. I even changed the project settings all the way down to SD - same problem.

Try changing the disk
I have seen brand new disks that are faulty
If you have a BDR_E rewritable worth a try
Works every time here unless the disk is not a BD
Just tried changing my test project to 10 bit and it output a Bluray but the resulting file was only 8 bit, interesting
I was sure I could not make a disk from a 10 bit project but have not tried for a while, maybe because the original is only 8 bit

If you can get to the write tab and the option to write to disc is greyed out then that would imply either it doesn't like the discs in the drive and thinks it's empty/not the right kind of disc for the job, or there's a problem with the drive itself

[bobbyd]

I have tried changing disks (several). It is the correct type of disk for the job. The drive is fine because I have burned data disks with Nero.

Fixed the problem. Looks like the disks were bad, a whole bunch of them (14). I will return them for a refund. Tried a couple of new ones, different brand and they work fine. Thanks for all of your responses.

What brand/source were the bad discs?

[bobbyd]

Memorex BD-R Single Layer/6X/25gb

avoid buying Blu-ray with golden looking burn surface (LTH type)

use Verbatim HTL type

[bobbyd]

And those Memorex disks did have a golden tone burn side.

Never, ever, never, ever, ever use Memorex blanks. Probably the worst I've used. And that was 20 years ago. I guess they still ****. Whoaaa, they wipe out my word: S-U-C-K. That's a bit crazy.

The LTH Disks require a burner capable of burning to those. The LG-BH16LSO being such a burner.
