The disk that failed the burn is blue with a grey strip over the letters "BD-R" (on the right) and on top the label "AccuCORE"; below is "Ver. 1.3/6X 25 GB".

I inserted the other successfully burned SONY BD-R disk (at 6x speed) in the BUFFALO BR-X816U2 external usb drive and P2Go 6.0.0.3311, in Windows 7 x64 tried to import the previous session. In configuration pane I could read again 2X, 4X, 6X, 8X, 10X (max). This drive is not meant to burn BD-Rs at 10X!

I removed the SONY BD-R and inserted a brand new Memorex (1X-4X) to which P2Go showed as ready to burn at 8X. It will probably burn at 8X like before but I will choose 4X speed just to be safe.

I will try to bring the busTRACE log, not sure if I'll be able to do it...

#EDIT#

I uninstalled Cyberlink Blu-ray Disc Suite and installed Nero Burning ROM 11 Trial and then inserted the successfully burned SONY BD-R (6x) in the BUFFALO drive. Nero 11 Trial said it was blank and ready to be burned at 10X (44,950 Kbs).

Something is missing somewhere...
I'm not sure if this is P2Go or PowerProducer's responsibility...

Using Windows 7 x64, P2Go 6.0.0.3311 and the external USB BUFFALO BR-X816U2 blu-ray burner I successfully burned to a SONY BD-R (certified 6x) an Image of size 22.9 GB. I manually set the burning speed at 6x and in about 20 minutes the BD-R was ready. Of course I did not save the log of a successful burn.
Next, I inserted another SONY BD-R (certified 6x) in the same drive and chose the same Image to burn. Only this time I forgot to set the speed manually at 6x, leaving by accident, the suggested/max burning speed of 10x(!).

My drive only burns at 8x max and the SONY BD-R is certified to 6x only. I thought: I never had problems with P2Go max suggested speeds before using CDs, DVD+Rs, DVD-Rs, or DVD+RWs; at least it should burn initially at 10x and then slow down gradually.

(Not) to my surprise, the burn fails at about 56%... ErrCode: 0xeb020b9c

I know it is my fault only, in being thick as a brick for not having set the correct 6x speed manually, but I ask why does P2Go suggests a speed that the hardware can't handle? Maybe the SONY BD-R (certified 6x) can be burned in other blu-ray recorders at higher speeds but in this one it cannot, so maybe P2Go should first check/limit the burner capabilities and then check the disk's.

I know that most of the burning software recommends max burn speeds but Cyberlink ought do the opposite and be conservative about it, as to suggest safe, slow speeds because people are not machines and are (very) prone to err...

Error Code : 0xeb020b9c
In order to provide the busTRACE log and to reproduce this exact error I would need to re-burn the same data, which is no longer available. I split it in 20 GB on the TDK BD-RE, and the rest on a Sony DVD-R, both now archived and the source erased.

What I can say is that the TDK's BD-RE was successfully initialized in a Vista x86 machine, but started giving errors about 88%, 89% of the process, in the same OS, first with ImgBurn 2.5.5.0 and then with P2Go 6.0.0.3311. The last successful burn (19,2 GB) was in Windows 7 x64 with P2Go 6.0.0.3311.

The (faulty?) TDK BD-RE will no longer be used (as I read that damaged sectors can no longer be recovered by formatting), and I will now purchase a Memorex BD-RE or a Sony BD-RE and will use P2Go (for data) and PowerProducer (for images) as the only burning software. I will keep buying TDK BD-Rs though; I just wanted to post my experience with the TDK BD-RE.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

I have burnt several Memorex BD-Rs and TDK BD-Rs with success and have been using Sony's DVD+RW and TDK's DVD+RW for years and never had any issue or problems.

I will try to burn a Memorex or a Sony BD-RE next time.

#EDIT#

This was the first and last time I initialized a BD-RE using ImgBurn. I only used it 'cause of the excessive verbosity. I was simply curious about what happens to a BD-RE when it is being formatted.

I don't know whether Packet or DAO or TAO or SAO is the way to go.

I just think, in my humble opinion, that P2Go could be a bit more verbose in the process of doing things or at least have a "Basic/Advanced" display pane option while it is burning disks. Just a thought...

So today I quickly erased the (faulty?) TDK BD-RE on P2Go and recorded successfully 19.2 GB of data (20,645,359,616 bytes on disk). I'm now afraid that if I ever need to burn more than 20 GBs on the same TDK media, it will just fail like before.

Every BD-R disk works perfectly, burnt @ 8x speed so it's not Cyberlink's fault, nor Sony's BD-Rs or Buffalo's, this only happens with TDK's BD-RE at aproximately 89% (20 GB, give or take some MBs).

TDK says it's ultra-compatible and that it has an excellent Hard Coating...
