John, good to know about the 50GB Blu-ray disc problem. I've only used 25GB ones. Another option would be Nero. I'm very impressed with Nero burning software, the biggest problem being that it's closed source & only available for Windows. Maybe Nero runs on WINE? Too bad Nero Linux was discontinued. I used it & it was also reliable.
