I have got a big box of about 25 years old CD ROM disks with scanned B/W ... 3/ When I was investigating this issue I came to the conclusion that "M-Disk"s were the best current solution; this involves (a) buying an M-disk capable DVD R/W (most Blue-Ray drives) (b) a supply of M-Disks (25- 100)GB
I purchased LG GP57EB DVD Burner which claims to be M-disc compatible. I also purchased 2 boxes Verbatim M-disc Bdr 25gb 5pk to use for trials. Both mail-orders arrived recently. I tried the new burner with ordinary DVD using brasero SW. It created small data DVD without any issues. I created 21.2 GiB .iso with brasero also without any issues. When I asked brasero to burn it and presented one M-disc in the burner it responded with "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD". Search results for “M-disc” in brasero help returned: 'No matching help pages found in “Brasero Help”. I also tried k3b with the same .iso. It asked for a disc, played a bit with inserted M-disc and then stopped, still asking for "an empty Blu-Ray medium" So far no success but also no coaster... Any advice what to try next would be appreciated.
