Still questionable whether there is enough difference between both FORMAT commands to explain the difference in success on both BD-R discs. > I'm trying not to throw away *too* many of > these darn expensive discs. Hey. Your boss could afford a BD burner two years ago ! It must have cost a little fortune. ;) You could combine a test of growisofs auto-format with the 10 mm scratch test. If it formats then the scratch will become illustrative. If it does not format, then you will test how bad a 10 mm scratch is with a BD-R that has no Defect Management. So give it a double dozen GB of data to eat. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
