Blu-Ray burning software (Data)

Hi All,

I did search but could not see anything relevant...

I have just got a Blu-Ray burner and 10 shiny new disks with the intention of backing up my photo library which has gotten too large for me to be bothered to span it over many DVD's.

Open up Nero 9 and it recognises the drive but it will not let me burn a Blu-Ray

Now, upon a bit of Googling I can purchase a Blu-Ray Disc Authoring Plug-In for £4.99

But the Nero site is so wooly (presumably because they want you to buy V10) and it is not clear wether that plugin will allow me to burn data disks.

Will it, or is there a better alternative out there?

Cheers

I have never used this for Blu-Rays but I have for cds/ dvds and it does what it is asked..

I've used CDBurner Xp for years for CDs, and then DVDs, says it does Blu Ray, it's a great program and free

Thanks to all, I will check 'em out. I have used imgburn in the past and only thought it was for burning images lol

I use cyberlink power2go, it's not free but handles blu ray no problem

Cheers for the suggestion, never heard of it but will give it a go since Imgburn gave me errors on Blu-Ray

Stand easy guys...

I should have gone to specsavers. It only reads Blu-Rays.

Yes, there is a bruise on my shin for anyone that is interested.

Update...

I now actually have a blu ray burner

Nero deals with it just fine...

Damn i am a twit, but here comes my backups - 25gb at a time

Im surprised you didn't get software with the burner even if it was maybe an OEM drive.
