Is there a program or a procedure to check if your blank BD-R or RE is good? There seem to be so many cases of forum members that have had problems with different media. Is there any way to put the media in your drive and check it first? thanks.
This is a test mode that writes to all the sectors. It will tell you if your disc is good or bad. Only problem is that it takes over 3 hours to test a 50 GB BD-RE. At least it is a program and when it runs you can see the exact spot that the data stops writing if the disc is bad. I used it this way and found that I had a Panasonic 50 GB BD- RE that was bad after about 1:45 into a recording. As I watched it, it started to do re-writes and stopped writing at the bad spot.
