Retrieving media info…Please wait…

This message appears when I try to create a Blu-ray disc.
It will remain on this window USUALLY until I force a close of the program. Sometimes it errors out with a long error message.

Are you creating the content first and then trying to burn the disc separately?

What sort of media are you using in the drive? BD-R, BD-RE? If you are re-using a BD-RE disc, you may need to format it first.

What burn speed are you trying to burn at?

What brand of BD disc are you using?

I have tried both ways and it still does it. I prefer creating the disk all at once instead of creating the file first. Neither is working. I have successfully created Blu-ray discs just a month or so ago using the same kind of BD-R discs I am using now, so I know it’s not the media. It never gets to that point anyway. 2x burn speed. I am using Windows XP Professional. I had this error msg. once before and I THINK I re-installed DVD Architect to get it working again, but not 100% sure. I don’t want to keep having to re-install software if that will even fix it again. Thanks for any assistance!

OK I would say I feel stupid…but I don’t totally. Your post asking me what kind of disc I was using got me to thinking…I tried a different/new disc (same exact brand, just different disc) and it started working! Bad disc??? Possible I guess…but why not throw up an error saying Bad Disc or Check disc…instead of the RANDOM error it gives…Oh well…that would make life simple I guess…

Glad to be of assistance.

FYI, I have had a 100% failure rate using BD-R discs and a 100% success rate using BD-RE. I use Shintaro discs as they are the only ones I can buy that are inkjet printable.

When I used BD-R, it would actually say the disc creation was successful after about 1.5 hours of burning, but when I flipped the disc over, I could see only a fraction of the disc was used. It would load in my player and play a small portion of the content, such as the menu, or just one chapter. Go figure.

I have had no such problems with BD-RE.
