Thanks to dvd+rw-format and 04h FORMAT UNIT Format Type 31h. This downgrades a BD-RE to kindof DVD+RW with 25 GB. You lose defect management. I understand that it is considered necessary because 25 GB media have a high risk to contain a bad spot somewhere. So it might be appealing to explore the ways with "certifying" formatting. If we can talk that into running at full speed by help of AAh WRITE12 then this would give us the opportunity to "repair" bad spots by re-formatting. I understand dvd+rw-format -format=full will apply 04h FORMAT UNIT Format Type 30h Sub Type 10b: "Full Certification: The entire data area shall be certified. The defect tables shall be initialized with defects discovered during the certification process." I hope to have opportunity to check your BD-RE results over the weekend with DVD-RAM. Maybe i can make more proposals then. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
