Dunno what Windows is thinking.

Hmm, if that's the case then either the drive/Windows is misreading the amount of data on the disc (both installed DVD drives recognise the disc the same way) or there's some structural trickiness going on by the game company. Maybe there's a program that tells whether a DVD is single or dual layer (?). Shall investigate further ...

Have used DVD Decrypter for many years without issue, however my first attempt at using ImgBurn was met with a problem. Here's how it played out: 1. Inserted single layer PS2 game DVD (God Of War), size = 3.62GB 2. Created image file on hard drive using READ mode (both ISO & MDS files created, as expected) 3. Image created is 7.46GB - if I then attempt to write the image back to a single layer DVD, the following message is given: There doesn't appear to be enough space on this disc to burn the image. Image size: 3,915,344 Sectors (7,647 MB) Disc size: 2,297,888 Sectors (4,488 MB) I don't ever remember encountering this problem with DVD Decrypter - where might I be going wrong?
