I was using this software called CD Burner XP, And got a error message saying file is bigger then 25 GB same for 50 GB. I mean I'm only burning 10 GB. I only had one of each disc 1 50 GB and 1 25 Gb wasted for nothing.

I bought my Blu-ray burner brand new. It's a LG Super Multi Blue Internal 14x Blu-ray Disc Rewriter WH14NS40. I even checked the Tech Specs 100% It burns all formats.

But then I tried using a 8.5 DVD-R Blank Disc I tried it he old fashioned way. I put it in, went to My Computer, Clicked on the DVD Drive, it asked me if I wanted it to burn as a usb or permanent i chose permanent so files won't be dragged and droped. I throw a 5 GB file it showed it as temporary and clicked on burn few mins it worked, I tried using CD Burner XP throw the 5 GB file into the program and clicked burn I got a message saying "File is larger then 8.5 GB" Came to my mind do I keep burning data the old fashioned way with out any software like I did 6 years ago.

Why can't the software accept the software burning method? rather then just drag and drop into the blank CD then just click burn Like I did in the 2000's

It`s always been the case of what ever the medium you use to burn information states as it`s maximum burn speed to set it to a lower speed setting than quoted.

Burning at a slower speed prevents less burn errors and what we call buffer under runs of the burning device used.
As the data to be burned to the disk is often cached on the burner by a small block of memory or ram for temporary storage while burning.

And is topped up via the system memory or the device data is being copied from.
Any interruption in this, or if the Cache becomes to low in data to burn will produce a burning error, and why you lower the burning speed.

In some programs you also have to pre select the type of medium format.
And the capacity, as well as any feature that enables overburning.

For example the type of Blu ray disk, + or - it states.
The capacity 25Gb or 50Gb due to the fact a 50Gb is a dual layer or level of disk.
meaning the drive must know what state to set the laser of the device in power to burn each layer reliably.
By a 25Gb or 50Gb size selection of the blank blu ray disk inserted.

There will be a manual setting to select the size of the medium inserted and must be pre selected before you start a burn process.

You are missing the pre selection of disk type and the capacity setting.
And burn at a much slower speed, than the blank quotes as a maximum speed.

The reason why is because drives can do multiple types of blank media From a CD-R to CD-RW and DVD-R +/- or RW discs. As well as Blu ray and Blu ray-WR disks. Most Blu ray drives can write all of these mediums as once device.

Sounds like a 32 bit application that is unable to create/measure/deal with 4GB or more sized files.

I think I have used BurnAware before with some success. Check with the manufacturer of your drive, they may offer a limited license version of a popular burning software.

I pretty much use PowerISO for everything. And I don't recall the exact capabilities of Daemon Tools pro, but I got a copy of that with my motherboard.
