Hmm I have two 5.25" SATA BD recorders (Pioneer and Asus) using them for backups with BD-R (25GB) and BD-R DL (50GB) and BD-RE DL (50GB rewritable) disks with no problem. Also tested external USB BD recorders work fine but a bit more expensive (looks like Pioneer in Europe is sold by Verbatim?). These are not that expensive and can burn dvd, cd, and mdisk too. Because DVD-RW-DL are hard to find I just bought whole bunch of BD-RE DL and use them in cycles no to waste plastic. For clients with one time use BD-R and BD-R DL are fine and cheaper. I trust Verbatim disks as there are many different types of physical medium just marked BD-R* but burner firmware must support them to write correctly. You just need to create hybrid ISO9660 + UDF (plus -iso-level 3 or 4 if you have single files over 2GB) with mkisofs and then burn the image with cdrecord or just growisofs or k3b or whatever you prefer. Then if you mount it with mount_iso9660 files looks a bit weird, but if you mount_udf all looks fine. But this does not seem the case for FreeBSD installer as it is simple ISO9660 not even UDF nor hybrid :-) I also tend to use mdconfig to mount iso and compare files inside iso with files to backup before burning just to make sure all landed as expected (i.e. sometimes i forget to add -iso-level 3 so big files are gone). Then disk verification with iso can be performed after burning. I found VENTOY [1] extremely helpful because it allows having many ISO files on a single USB drive and choose one from its boot menu, it supports BIOS and UEFI boot, adding boot keys, and other utilities.. so there is no need to have single usb drive per iso anymore just one usb drive with many iso :-) [1] https://www.ventoy.net/ ps/2: What I really miss about UDF implementation in FreeBSD is modern version support with R/W access so we could just use UDF filesystem as standard platform independent disk format (i.e. for pendrive in place of fat32 / vfat /ntfs). But other systems also have this support varying in version support and on the fly write so this is Universal Disk Format only in theory and still mainly used for optical disks :-P --=20 CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
