Yeah. A BD-R tree would be a fine thing.

Note that growisofs on BD-RE would not show the bug at the end.
It happens only with BD-R which you submit in blank state.

If you treat your BD-R with dvd+rw-format before using them,
the bug should not show up.

If you can talk K3b into using growisofs option
  -use-the-force-luke=spare:none
then it will not format the blank BD-R, work with full nominal
speed, and should not show the bug. (There will be no Defect
Management. So there will be no checkreading and no replacement
of bad blocks.)

I wrote a mail to media-optical@g.o, proposing the patch
for growisofs.
Regrettably there was no reaction yet.

Maybe if enough Gentoo users complain ...


Have a nice day :)
