That's right boss - the only thing guaranteed to kill a womans sex drive (apart from Jack) - a wedding ring !! #39;(

I believe the laser setting/strength is different for Dual Layers so that may explain the ability of the drive to burn DVD-R's

Ok donta here goes - the position of master beta has been taken by blutach !!! (I hate to disappoint )

I wasn't being smug or talking down to you this post is about viewing DVD files on a pc yours is not ! In your other post I gave you a link to the relevant guide you will need follow that and you should be ok.

I used to have sex lots - sadly I was never asked to be a porn star !!

Check out the guides section ! Next time it's best not to hijack another thread - especially as this one has nothing to do with your question.

Hey Stevo you're welcome mate

You and thousands of others use ImgBurn daily.......

Are you still not verifying those discs mate ??

I think you need to select the correct source for the file type that you are playing. I think its "media files on HDD" or something similar........ I am sure mine was ok the other night when I was testing some files playing them like this - I definitely saw the menu screen and played the film from there.

Power DVD ? http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/products/main_1_ENU.html

It's the actual DL media that would worry me If it's the Verbatim DVD+R DL's that's ok......

and please let us know how you get on with spinners suggestion above.

I was thinking about this over the weekend whilst posting up disc tests and I can see similarities between these spongeless cartridges and the Epson Continuous Ink System that I bought from SVP, below: http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1171 This seems to be along the same lines as the cartridges you are looking at as there are no sponges involved here. I have yet to install my CISS system as I am using up the last of the cartridges I bought with the printer. I think Corny has his installed on his Epson tho.....

I thought Igor was Dr Frankensteins assistant as well ! Oh well it doesn't really matter all Govt's are bloodsucking parasites no matter which end of the political spectrum they come from.....

So you need to get a DVD?RW drive to burn DVDs then

That RitekF1 dye is shocking - check out the media forum...... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=539

Without a log its difficult to check the Media ID (Dye on those discs) but if they are still Ritek dye then you will of course still see the same problem. You really need to forget about the name on the disc, Sony for e.g. and concentrate on the dye on the back of them. Verbatim DVD+R DL's are the only reliable DL media - period ! Anything else and you will be setting yourself up for hassles. As far as I know Sony don't make their own dye they outsource it so you can end up with a range of different dyes from Sony...... this goes for a lot of the other names out there - Memorex for e.g. Get yourself to an online retailer that lists the media id of the discs they sell, www.svp.co.uk or www.meritline.com spring to mind. Then look for Verbatim DVD+R DL's for Dual layer media and Verbatim MCC dye or Taiyo Yuden TYG for DVD-R's.....

Definitely get the Verbatim DVD+R DL's

Hello ?

Have you contacted Michael about the scratched ones mate ? Is the packaging busted then ? Nice scan at the end tho
