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

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.

1And what exactly might that “blu ray device” be? Please update your question with its make and model. – Daniel B – 2016-08-14T16:21:58.380
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 Kamenjak – 2016-08-14T17:10:10.427
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 B – 2016-08-14T21:29:45.387
Ok, I updated the question and added my error log. – Mario Kamenjak – 2016-08-15T08:47:38.933
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 P – 2016-08-15T10:25:11.857
Well. I guess for BD writing I will either have to sell this device to someone else or return it and buy another one. I might keep it only if I get DVD burning working. – Mario Kamenjak – 2016-08-15T10:37:55.570
