video is in Arabic but there are high quality english subtitles!

a note: for burning BDXL discs on Linux, i’ve seen conflicting reports about K3b, some say it works, others say it doesn’t… if someone has had any luck burning BDXL discs on Linux, i’d love to know what setup you used!

    I’ve recently been burning BDXL on Linux using Brasero and a nothing special LG drive. If you can select the burn speed, do not select maximum, I think that is what skunked the first disc I attempted. It will be very slow, and the UI will appear to freeze, but it does burn successfully after several hours.

    I’ve been burning my GOG library slowly in the background and throwing the disks in some jewel cases, and then putting it all in an old ammo can with some desiccant.

      Hours? Damn, I use imgburn on windows and it only takes a few minutes.

      Edit: (sorry, that’s not bdxl)

        Its slow as shit for whatever reason. Less than 1x speed by its own metrics. There may be a problem somewhere, but I don’t care about speed as much as accuracy and not ruining disks, so I haven’t looked into it.
