DVDA Not Writing to External ASUS BluRay Burner

I just got an ASUS external BluRay writer. I am trying to burn a DVDA project to a DVD-R disk using this external burner. This ASUS burner is advertised as being capable of burning to BluRay and non-BluRay disks.

I have tried burning a DVDA project (non-BluRay) twice now and each time I get an "incompatible media error" when the disk gets ready to burn (using a Taiyo Yuden DVD-R disk).

This external drive will burn data files to the T-Y DVD-R disks just fine, but is seems to reject these disks when trying to create a non-BluRay DVD from the DVDA menu.

Anyone experience this issue before? Any specific settings I should pay close attention too?

I am using DVD Architect Build 84.

ASUS tech support was no help in resolving this problem.

I am not going to waste anymore disks experimenting with either program.

While experimenting I suggest using BD-RW discs.

The function required to burn an image file to disc is "Write image file to disc", as illustrated on the image I posted earlier. I use this method regularly and it works flawlessly.

@BobWard The developers for Burnaware told me that their software will not convert a DVDA iso file to a playable Blu-ray movie file. From what I have read on the IMGBURN forums, that software will not do it either.

Always possible that YMMV but this weekend I've produced 30 copies of a dance school concert authored in DVDA Build 84, saved to iso and then burned to Blu Ray using Imgburn v2.5.8.. Pioneer Blu Ray Writer installed in the PC. Disks play fine on my PC and my Toshiba Player. I've used Imgburn for many years with no problems but have no experience with Burnaware
