User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0 Build Identifier: I have a Pioneer BDR-206D dual-layer blu-ray writer. I'm trying to write to a new Verbatim 50GB BD-R DL blu-ray disk. I'm trying to write a 26.6GB iso image to the drive. K3b complains: Waiting for Disk - D3b Found medium: Empty BD-R medium Please insert an empty medium of size 26.5 GiB or larger into drive PIONEER BD-RW BDR-206D (/dev/sr1). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Use K3B to create an ISO image of the Data Project files. 1. Insert blank 50GB BD-R into drive. 2. Select "Burn Image" from inside k3b. 3. Select any speed (2X, 4X, auto). Actual Results: I get the error popup that indicates that it knows there's an empty BD-R medium, but it doesn't recognize that it's big enough for the 26.6GB image, even though it's a 50GB disk. Expected Results: It should have recognized the disk size and written the image. OS: 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have noticed this also on k3b 2.0.2 / OpenSUSE 13.2 64bit / external Samsung SE-506CB drive. I can not proceed from the "insert blank media" popup even though there is a proper empty media in the drive. It happens with single layer BD-R too. Burning the same image on to the same disc with growisofs works ok.
