  • Warning: Encore CS3 can kill Blu-ray BR-RE media!

    Posted by Frank Wylie on July 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm

    Just a word of warning; I have found that Encore will fail 99% of the time mid-point on erasing a re-writable Blu-ray disk, thereby rendering it a coaster! (YES, I am checking the “erase disk” box when this happens!)

    The disk is not mountable and cannot be recovered in any way I have found…

    If you need to re-use a BD-RE, use another utility like ImgBurn or Nero or Cyberlink Hi-Def Suite to erase or reformat the disk PRIOR to letting Encore anywhere near the disk!

    At $40 USD a pop, making coasters gets old REAL quick!

    word to the wise…

    Hi Frank,

    it’s odd that you can’t erase the disc and fix it with another of the utilities you mentioned. Have you tried to do that on a Mac with Toast?

    We have a Mac burning program also, and would like to try one of your failed discs.

    Regards,

    Larry
