1370975 2014-03-22 08:44:00 Does anyone have any experience writing BluRay triple density (TL) 100 GB disks? I have a new Asus BW-16D1HT burner which writes DVDs and 25 GB and 50 GB (dual density) BluRay BD-R disks ok. The drive is advertised with XL capability, and I got a BD-RE XL to try, a Sony-ET2-002 2X media. This is so I can do re-writes doing testing - these disks are expensive and BD-R XL similar price (no second chances!). I can write to the BD-RE XL media okay up to 33 GB. After that I get write errors. 33 GB is where the layers switch. I've tried using Nero 2014 and ImgBurn, similar results. Suggests the burner, but no updated firmware is available, and the burner writes 50 GB dual-layer disks ok (BD-R). Is anyone successfully writing BD-RE XL or BD-R XL disks - if so, what burner, what media types, what software? ledzep (1441)

According to Wikipedia Nero 11 supports BDXL media: BD-R TL, BD-RE TL, BD-R QL, and BD-RE QL.

So you maybe doing something wrong why it cant see or use all of the disk. If you're using one of these
