+1 for K3B.

However, I must add that on my 18.04 computers it still does not work
100% with Blu-ray. I have a spindle of 25GB BD discs, and they work
reliably. I also have a spindle of 50GB BD discs, and they won't work
at all. All I get is 'enter a CD or DVD disc.'

As for Brasero, it works only with CD/DVD discs.

Before writing this I did not check to see what dependencies I have
installed for K3B and Brasero. I will do that if someone needs that
information.

I should add that this is my experience with an internal BD drive in my
old computer, purchased to replace the DVD drive that it came with, as
well as an external USB BD drive that I use with my current computer,
which has no bay for an optical drive. Before buying these dives I
verified that they were advertised as being compatible with up to 100GB
discs.

I think it might be helpful (not for me, but for those more technically
capable) to know how these programs figure out what kind of media is in
the drive. What kind of data does the drive send to the OS? How does
the OS interpret the data?
