my blu ray device can read media but is unable to write to media. I still haven't tested it with CD's. I also have no Blu rays with any data on them to test it out. However it is capable of reading DVD's. So far I have tried to write to a BD-r and a DVD media. Update here is my k3b error log: http://pastebin.com/fzqsu3Y0

1And what exactly might that “blu ray device” be? Please update your question with its make and model.– Daniel BAug 14, 2016 at 16:21

It is a no name device, but my laptop recognises it as MATSHITA BD-CMB UJ-120. If it doesn't write then I was cheated by the seller.– Mario KamenjakAug 14, 2016 at 17:10

This thing? It can only write DVDs/CDs. It can read BD. Seeing how all Google turns up are problem reports and whatnot, it seems to be a bad model anyway. // Please provide further details on how exactly burning a DVD would fail.– Daniel BAug 14, 2016 at 21:29

Ok, I updated the question and added my error log.– Mario KamenjakAug 15, 2016 at 8:47

For DVD+R, try manually setting a lower write speed, e.g. 4x. As mentioned by others though, you won't be able to burn Blu-Ray discs.– James PAug 15, 2016 at 10:25

The drive only annouces to support profile BD-ROM, but not BD-R or BD-RE. Its name "BD-CMB" reminds of "Combo drive", an old euphemism for burning not all kinds of writable media which it can read.
I still own a LG "BDDVDRW GGC-H20" which i once bought because it was cheaper than all BD-ROM drives and one can never have enough DVD burners. It issues about the same profile list as your drive.
The DVD burning run died because of a bad relation between drive and medium. Power calibration area is a writable test area on the medium where the drive can make read-write experiments to find the best settings for the laser power. The drive found it was too bad to process further.
