DVRTool v1.0 - firmware flashing utility for Pioneer DVR/BDR drives

Does it see that it's BD XL, quite possible that it does not have writing strategy for this particular BD XL.

It seems it doesn't... ImgBurn shows "Current Profile: N/A" on the sidebar, while it shows info for blank DVD-Rs and bluray movies.

Welcome to the forums, DaveRiscman. Although the BDR-TD05 is capable of writing to quad-layer discs, since it's a BDXL drive, it never received a firmware update from Pioneer to enable it. That's why it won't properly recognize your SONY-NQ1 media. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of alternate firmware for the drive that would enable QL support.

Argh... that's unfortunate. Are there any alternative inexpensive (and preferably external) drives that can write to these?

You would need a drive from the last 2-3 years with a fairly recent firmware update. Pioneer or LG drives are your best bet. Most are not inexpensive, however.
