Burning My First M-Disc (Using Ubuntu Linux) - Archival Grade Optical Storage Medium
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-05-18

My first M-Disc burner arrived from Amazon today alongside a hard-cased CD archive.

Although I tried to get the player to recognize natively in Ubuntu, unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.

Instead, I accessed the M-Disc via a Windows 10 virtual machine (VM) accessed through VM Ware. Although the M-Disc burning process was somewhat slow, I did manage to write 20GB of video in about 40 minutes.

Lesson learned: you can burn M-Discs using Ubuntu. But you might need to get creative about what tools you use.

Product I bought and used: LG WP50NB40 - Blu Ray and DVD writer with M-Disc compatability.
