What is the difference between bdxl discs and m-discs ?

Ah, this is fairly straightforward:"BDXL" refers to the Blu-ray specification for quad layer, 100GB discs. You can read about that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_recordable#Version_4.0.E2.80.94RE_4.0.E2.80.94.28BDXL.29"M-Disc" refers to the actual technology employed in the recording layer. In this case, M-Disc capable discs must be written by M-Disc capable writers, but instead of changing the color of the disc's dye, or changing its phase, these M-Discs and burners actually engrave the data into the disc in a series of pits and lands. M-Discs also come in all typical sizes; 4.7GB DVDs, 25GB, 50GB & 100GB Blu-day recordables. You can read about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-DISC

Just bought a blu-ray m-disc drive. will the burned m-disc be readable by a standard dvd drive/player? thanks

I just burned several BDXL 100gb's. They are marked with Blu-Ray logo and open read etc fine with the same Blu-Ray drive I burned with. Regular dvd drive does not see the disc. I am going to try a Blu-Ray only external drive - will update.

Can someone recommend a drive that successfully burns the bdxl m-discs? my pioneer bdr-2209 is only successful about 2 out of 5 discs.

Yes. I've had excellent results on Mac OS X with the LG HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH14NS40. I bought mine in an external USB3 enclosure from OWC, but I'm quite sure that any you find here would work just as well. I've had a 100% success rate with the 25GB discs.

Sorry for furthur question. Is the 25gb model with branded surface also made from Taiwan?Thanks a lot.

Good Product

The discs and their packaging look excellent. I burned a few discs without any problem. Do use only the included Nero disc burner software though. I burned one disc through the windows burn option and ruined it. Whether the disc shall survive 1000 yrs as claimed, lets wait and see.

Not working with my ASUS M-Disc writer.

Not working with my ASUS M-Disc burner. Just to ensure where the issue is, I locally bought a LG M-disc 4.7 GB for INR 50 and it worked fine and could able to write it. But this Verbatim discs are not even recognised by the burner / system and then only the issue of whether can they be burned comes. Waste of money. Had written to the vendor, but with no response. Please try to get one disc, try and ensure it is working before going for a bundle. It deserves negative stars.
