Greetings! Trying to burn a Blu-Ray disk using external Buffalo drive/burner. Compiled project in Architect, and the project previewed fine in Architect. I selected the "Burn Blu-Ray" and went through the menu, ensuring I was making the ISO file AND burning the disk. Seemed to be rendering and burning fine, and even came back with a message that the burn was complete and finished without error. However, nothing was burned on the Blu-Ray disk! The disk was a BD-RE. Any ideas as to the cause and solution?

Do you still have DVD rendering problems with your Buffalo external blu-ray burner? I am considering getting the same burner but if there are problems expected....??

I had to have my Buffalo Multi Media Blu-Ray/HD-DVD burner player replaced. Their customer service was great, and I had a replacement within two weeks. The replacement took a little trial and error to make work, but now is fine. Two things to ensure success: if your disk won't burn, try using a different brand blu-ray disk. A Maxell brand BD-RE wouldn't burn no matter what I tried, but switched to a Sony brand BD-RE and it worked fine. As for playing movies, the Nero bundled player was crappy. I bought "WinDVD Plus Blu-Ray software" and both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD movies played great. As for burning, again, I prefer the free ImgBurn software over the bundled NERO. ImgBurn is great after you compile and render your production using your preferred NLE. I do like the drive, but the Nero bundled software was a real pain to work with BD.
