CharlesT Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 When I burned some double layer *.iso files ( .mdf files made by ImgBurn),some .iso files (ex: layer 0=60%, layer 1=40%) made disc can easily be identified layer 0 and layer 1 by eye but cannot be read by other dvd-roms. It?s strange that some .iso files look like layer 0 = layer 1 and can be read by others dvd-rom (seems layer 1 have 20% added special mark). When I tried to use Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.16 in first case, it?s showed layer 0=50%, layer 1=50%. Of course, Nero didn?t set the correct layer break point but it can be read at other dvd-roms. Does someone can help me how to solve this problem? Should I change any setting in ImgBurn or use tools to fix the .iso files.? OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 DVD-R: BENQ DW1640 (BSMB) DVD+R DL disc (MITSUBISHI KAGAKU) 1.Make MDS file by ImgBrun.. --- failed 2.User specified layer break without .mds files. --- failed 3.Change DW1640 firmware=> BSOB --- failed 4.Change DW1640 firmware=> BSJB --- failed 5.Change ImgBurn=>Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.16 --- OK, but incorrect layer break.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 50/50 is the most compatible but that doesn't mean 60/40 shouldn't work. That's what the specs say anyway! I can't say as it's something I've really tried out though! Have you looked at the booktype settings? Maybe your drive isn't set to DVDROM for DVD+R DL media (so ImgBurn discs wont look like DVDROM) - but Nero set DVDROM on a per burn basis and so wouldn't have that problem. You could probably use PgcEdit to make a nicer ISO with the layerbreak more around the 50/50 position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesT Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 The booktype have correctly set to DVDROM for DVD+R DL media in ImgBurn. But it only can be read in the DVD recorder, other DVD-ROMs cannot. This disc can easily be identified with no 50/50 position by eyes. When I change other .iso files with no 50/50 position .iso files, it?s looks like 50/50 position disc and can be read in other DVD-ROM. ===can be read in DVD-ROM== Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,367,168 Size: 4,847,960,064 bytes Time: 526:04:18 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 8x DVD崇 DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 1,434,368 Changeable: No Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD-ROM Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,079,039 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 1,630,975 Layer Information: Layer 0 Sectors: 1,434,368 (60.59%) Layer 1 Sectors: 932,800 (39.41%) ===cannot be read in DVD-ROM=== Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,379,296 Size: 4,872,798,208 bytes Time: 528:45:71 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 8x DVD崇 DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 1,800,624 Changeable: No Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD-ROM Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 15,358,655 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 1,997,231 Layer Information: Layer 0 Sectors: 1,800,624 (75.68%) Layer 1 Sectors: 578,672 (24.32%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hmm the 2nd ones 'Book Type' values look a little odd. The 'ADIP' one should say DVD+R DL and the 'Last Recorded' one should say DVD-ROM. NOT the other way around. I'm wondering if your burner isn't correctly padding out the second layer like it's supposed to if the two don't match up. You should find it takes aaaaages at either the sync cache bit or the closing track/disc bit - as it would/should be burning 1.3 gig of 'nothing' to even out the layers. Post your log any maybe that'll help things. Btw, when you say it can't be read in other dvdroms, are you talking about standalone players or basic pc dvd drives (i.e. not burners) ?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Everything you've shown there looks perfectly fine. Why don't you do a Verify within ImgBurn (just check the box before you burn) and then do a PIPO scan in DVDInfoPro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you do a Verify within ImgBurn (just check the box before you burn) and then do a PIPO scan in DVDInfoPro. I've tried verify within ImgBurn, but it looks okay. However the disc cannot be read in many DVD-ROM (even try extract the .ISO file and rebuild by PgcEdit or ImgTool Classic). When I force break layer in midpoint (50%/50%) by ImgBurn layer break options, there are no problem. I guess maybe some reason made ImgBurn cannot correctly fill the rest of the disc with dummy information during finalization. ======== ImgBrun:1.3.0.0 This disc also L1<L0 and can identify by eyes. It seems while the program lead-out, there is no enough dummy data.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 There is never any dummy data, the drive does the padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
