Blu-Ray Help!

guitard: Alright … so my buddy who bought the LG drive started out with Verbatim discs (at my recommendation) and produced nothing but coasters.He then switched to Optical Quantum BD-R 6x single layer discs and hasn’t had any problems at all.

Yep, those are what I have, but mine are 4x. Maybe that’s the problem? I’d just hate to keep dumping $$ and ending up with unusable discs. Guess there isn’t any other option.

Can someone explain what all of these are?

Compatible formats: BD-R , BD-R DL , BD-R LTH , BD-R TL , BD-RE , BD-RE DL , BD-RE TL , BD-ROM , BD-ROM DL

BD-R – The standard disc. They are HTL type but they don’t display the HTL on the packaging. So they don’t display BD-R HTL, just BD-R (25GB capacity)
BD-R DL – Dual layer Blu-ray disc (50GB capacity)
BD-R LTH – LTH means Low To High which are made differently to the standard BD-R (25GB capacity)
BD-R TL – Triple layer Blu-ray disc (100GB capacity)
BD-RE – Re-writeable Blu-ray disc (25GB capacity)
BD-RE DL – Dual layer Re-writeable Blu-ray disc (50GB capacity)
BD-RE TL – Triple layer Re-writeable Blu-ray disc (100GB capacity)
BD-ROM – Read only, cannot burn to (25GB capacity)
BD-ROM DL – Read only, cannot burn to (50GB capacity)

The TL discs are also known as BD-XL

Hope this helps.

a bud made the mistake of sending me BD-RE
they are a pain in the ass imgbrn wants to format the disc which takes hours
but it burns just fine after that

I personally like the Verbatim BD-R LTH

So I ordered a 20 pack of Verbatim BD-R LTH discs on the 6th on eBay from a place with over 180,000 feedbacks and 99.8% positive. I see today my purchase was refunded without a reason. Son of a…Bluray is a total pain in the ass!! ‘ve had this burner for two weeks and I just can’t seem to acquire blank media that I can use.

I compared prices and went with the place on eBay because they were a few bucks cheaper and had free shipping. I usually use Super Media Store, but I’m not buying 50 of them. I just wanted 10 or so to burn a couple shows. I don’t have that many Bluray shows downloaded.

radikal: I use Memorex BD-R and havent had any coasters yet from BestBuy

I had already ordered the first pack of discs that didn’t work when I found them at Best Buy. I went back up to get them when I realized the discs I had wouldn’t work and they were out of them. They only had one spindle of them when I went. Small town.
