Part 1: Everything You Need to Know about LG WH16NS40.Plus, Ritek has a higher failure and incompatibility rate than the Verbatim IMF media. I'd not use the Ritek media at all as I know Ritek has certain playback issues with their BD on the PS3. You're using Verbatim IMF BD media, which is the best out there, so I wouldn't change BD-R SL type.

I don't need that feature, but I invest in the drive because, well, it works. And if you don't need that feature, you may not want to invest in it. However, it is a bit more expensive since it's an UltraHD drive. It doesn't have that problem that the WH16NS40 had and is now my go to BD drive. Since you don't mind trying new drives as a possible solution, I'd recommend trying LG's WH16NS60. Looks like they screwed the performance of the firmware, too. And here I thought the 1.03 firmware only introduced a plug to keep people from copying discs.

Seems they borked that firmware like Pioneer is now constantly borking their firmware. So, it may have been the 1.03 firmware the entire time. The only thing that seemed to work, and it wasn't always certain, was not to burn images with ImgBurn but to use the write on the fly method. And this behavior was verified by someone else on the forum. I had multiple units of this drive and it did the same thing. Well, I can't explain why you got success before with the WH16NS40 and I can't say much about the WH14NS40, but the WH16NS40 absolutely does not properly write/Verify dual layer BD media. Have one new drive, can return that and get different brandītw, grateful user, have made contributions to imgburn.
