Hi, all looks well for a run with 8x nominal speed and Defect Management enabled. You may try to get higher speed by omitting cdrskin option blank=format_if_needed or by using option stream_recording=on with BD-R media which are already formatted or with BD-RE media (which will get formatted

Hi, everything points towards Defect Management which seems to be extremely slow with the given drive and BD-R media. It normally slows down writing by a factor of 2 or 3 but not by 10 or 20. So the option stream_recording=on of cdrskin and xorrecord is worth a try with the next BD-R you burn.

Hi, libburn obviously tries to tell the drive the desired speed. But the drive decides to work much slower, despite promising speeds up to 12x BD with the given BD-R. A possible reason could be Defect Management which is caused by the cdrskin option blank=format_if_needed. It checkreads the wri
