    Problem copying DL disk properly

    in ImgBurn Support

    Posted

    Thanks again LIGHTNNG UK! It's nice to get a response from someone that knows what they're talking about ;-)

     

    Do DVD-R disks experience the same rounding issue? As you can't get DVD-R DLs it sounds as if I'm stuffed either way - I guess I'll just have to be ultra-careful with my original satnav disk in the car!

     

    Cheers,

    Aha! You CAN get DVD-R DLs - so would that be a possible route forward, or at least worth trying?

    Problem copying DL disk properly

    I've now tried writing this image on my Pioneer DVR-215 as well as a Sony 5260S - and get identical results, with the image being written incorrectly sized.

     

    I could try a Pioneer DVR-216 and an LG unit as well, but am worried that it'll be the same.

     

    Can anyone assure me that this won't be a problem on all drives, and I should be able to find one somewhere that doesn't "round up" the size of the disk?

     

    Many thanks for any help or pointers...

    Problem copying DL disk properly

    Posted · Edited by MrShades

    After producing a larger number of unusable Verbaitm DVD+R DL disks than I can't really afford, I'm turning to you guys for help and guidance.

     

    I've recently purchased a set of updated maps for my Lexus navigation system - at great expense - and ideally I'd like to archive the originals (4 of them, for different parts of Europe) and use a copy in the car. However, I'm really struggling to duplicate the DVD properly so that the nav system recognises it properly.

     

    Background on what I'm using - Pioneer DVR-215 (fw 1.19) on a Windows Vista Ultimate machine (Q6700, lots of RAM and disks!).

     

    The original disk information (from the right-hand panel in ImgBurn 2.5.2.0) is as follows:

    ...and if I look at the Media Information for this original disk I get the following information:

     

    lexus disk.jpg

     

     

    When I produce a disk image using ImgBurn, the image info correctly reports the structure as follows:

     

    lexus image.jpg

     

     

    However, when I burn this to a Verbatim DVD+R DL I get the following disk information on the burnt copy:

    ...and the Media Information shows, incorrectly, as follows:

     

    lexus disk-copy.jpg

     

     

    I have now tried everything that I can think of to get a copy that accurately reflects the disk information of the original (as I'm sure that's making a difference to whether the Nav system will recognise it as a valid disk or not).

     

    Can anyone help me, or point me in the right direction please? Whilst I have a few DLs left I can see them quickly vanishing in a puff of cash if I just use trial and error on this.

     

    Many thanks for all and any help.
