Every time a make a HD movie and write to a Blu-ray disc, I get a "device timeout" error.

Movie Studio is hung up.

In the past, I just unplugged the USB cord to the the Blu-ray writer, the writer opens, and the Blu-ray disk is readable.

So, I ignored this anomaly.

This time, it hung up, but with an extra error message: "An error occurred during the current operation. Error 0xc0aa020d (message missing)

And the Blu-ray disk is not readable.

Thinking that it was the Blu-ray writer, I re-burned a previously built movie. No problem (except for the usual time out error), the Blu-ray disc was readable. So It may not be the Blu-ray writer.

What is going wrong here?
