Re: Pioneer BDR-UD04

is it normal for the second layer to burn faster than the first with BD-R 50's?? my verbatim/pioneer UD04 took more then 1 hour (estimated) to reach 50% in Toast 20 Pro, and now it's about 15~20 minutes-ish further along at 83% burned, also it did seem to stop burning intermittently the the first 50...

Re: Samsung SE 506 info

(...) When I bought the drive it said it was capable of using bd100 discs but clearly never got that to work. (...) yeah, the Samsungs in my experience, just like the LG's, have trouble with the layer breaks on 50GB or larger BD-R discs. I wish I would've read about that earlier, as it costs me abo...

Re: Issue with MakeMKV 1.16.5 on M1 Macs running macOS Monterey (needs code signing)

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

Re: Pioneer BDR-UD04

Yep, according to the specs, this model's max speed for bluray is 6x and 4x for UHD. yup, I just got this drive delivered today, the verbatim slim 43888, which seems to be indeed the PIONEER BD-RW BDR-UD04 and came with firmware 1,14. makemkv at first launch immediately said that libredrive was act...
