Re: Issues brining BD disks from the command line - write failures

Hi,

> :-[ READ FORMAT CAPACITIES failed with SK=3h/ASC=19h/ACQ=00h]: 

3,19,00 is not listed among the official SCSI error codes.

3,x,y means "Medium error". The other two components would tell
what kind of medium error. E.g. 3,C0,00 would be "Write error".

It looks like the drive refuses to tell anything about BD peculiarities.


>  Media ID:              OTCBDR/001

First time i see "Optodisc Technology Corporation" as manufacturer.
My list says that they are 1x-4x high-to-low media. (The other type
"LTH" is quite problematic. But HTL should be ok.)

Well, if more than one drive fails with these, then you will have to
try a different medium type. E.g with a different nominal speed
(Optodisc has "1x-6x" OTCBDR/002) or from a brand that sells from a
different manufacturer (Brand Verbatim is "VERBAT" or "MBI").

BD-RE are more expensive than BD-R, but usually less error prone.
At least you would surely buy a different medium type.
(And you most surely can revive spoiled BD-RE as soon as you find
 a drive which can handle them.)


Have a nice day :)
