ejects a disc when you
try to record on it, or the
drive is not writing to BD/
DVD/CD correctly.
Is the disc already full?
PC:
Verify the contents of the disc by using your recording software
or viewing its contents at
File > Get Info
. If you’ve checked and it still
won’t record, try recording on a new blank disc.
Mac:
Select the disc icon and press
Cmd+I

Does the drive support the format
of the disc you have inserted?
Check

supported by your drive.
Do I need a new (HD) TV to play
Blu-ray Disc?
No. Pre-recorded Blu-ray Disc titles will play on any standard defini-
tion TV set, even if the video was encoded in High Definition. Likewise,
a Blu-ray Disc recorder can also record standard definition video, for
example from regular TV broadcasts or camcorders.
