I lucked out and accidentally discovered that the Bluray writer I was testing wasn't actually a Bluray writer, prompting me to go looking for the actual writer that I thought it was. I had two bites at the apple with regard to the new blank discs being writable by one of my drives and the second bite was the clincher. The first try was basically pointless as the first candidate writer is basically broken and had about zero chance of succeeding. If I'd remembered that, I'd have been more pessimistic about finding a match between the new media and a writer. Thankfully though, despite my brainfarts, it worked out well.
