ConvertXtoHD not Burning Full file to Bluray

I've been having issues for the last week, everything was working fine previously and I have a sneaky suspicion it has to do with the latest releases of the nVidia drivers (based on this thread: 64-beta-bugs-t20299.html)

What's happening:
- Files are converting/encoding according to the application
- upon completion of converting/encoding the burn phase starts but it goes by REALLY fast now.
- application claims operation is complete but when I retrieve the disc from my burner and look at the disc only a very small portion of the disc is used. The files themselves are well over 10 gigs and the discs i'm using are 25g verbatim BD-R's.
- I've used up 4 blanks and the same thing every time.
- it's as if it's trying to burn the menu portion, but fails to burn the video file

My system:
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6gb (driver ver 416.34)
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k @ 4.2ghz (8cpus)
RAM: 32gb G.Skill DDR4
Buner: Pioneer External BDR-XD053.10

ConvertXtoHD Settings:
Burn Speed: 4x
output format: bluray resolution: automatic
encoding: automatic target size: BD-25
Video processing: Letterbox - Linear VSO - Linear - VSO -
Hardware Optimizations: Enable all H264 hardware optimizations

The software was impeccable prior these latest batches of nVidia updates, hence why I think it's something to do with the new batch of drivers. Wondering if there's a work around or if I need to revert them (which I'm hesitant to do since they work great for everything else).

sorry no knowledge on this. But for future, I recently bought one BD25RW disk when I was having some problems with bad BD results. After one fail, I then go to RW disk to problem solve it

Create a .iso file and write with ImgBurn.
Most BD disc's are 6x speed -> do not write faster !
Check in ImgBurn: Tools -> Settings -> Write -> Preform OPC Before Write
OPC = Optimum Power Calibration

I guess I can do this instead, it's just odd that the software stopped doing what it had been doing for years...creating an iso and using different software defeats the purpose of ConvertXtoHD.

I too had this problem after upgrading to a new system. Bluray discs that were normally 12GB in size were only being written at around 440 MB.
At first I was totally baffled as my two VSO Programs ConvertXtoHD and ConvertXtoDVD had performed flawlessly.

The solution is to go to the Default Settings - Hardware Optimizations - Disable All H264 Hardware Optimizations.

Now both Blu-ray and DVD Discs are converting and encoding at the correct sizes.
