dvd-girl

Yes, Dell is replacing it under warrenty. They've sent me a philips drive and it works fantastic! I've just burnt 2 discs and the verbatim as well as the platinum are recognized in the standalone dvd-player! Thanks for your help!

I've just talked to Dell and they think that the drive doesn't work proper and i'll get a new drive. I hope this solve the problems with dual layer discs.

I bought it with my laptop about 14 month ago, I think.

I didn't burn a verbatim-disc yet, cause imgburn tell me that the disc (all 5 of my new package) is already completed, so I couldn't burn anything on the disc. I already installed the firmware from the dell support. When I put my platinum-DL in the drive, imgburn says it's empty. Another platinum was said to be completed too, I don't know what the problem could be.

After Problems with Fujifilm Dual Layer Discs I bought Verbatims. Now I have the problem, that the drive tell me that the new discs are complete? This is the information: TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L532B DE04 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Supported Write Speeds: 2,4x; 4x; 6x; 8x DVD?R DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 2.086.912 Changeable: Yes Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MKM-003-00 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-003-00 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 What's wrong?

No, both disks only come to the first menue and stop after pressing play, although the are recogniced as dvds. I took the dvd out as the drive opened, I thought the dvd was ready. ok, I try to get a verbatim and try it again.

I made the second disk with DVDDecrypter and imgburn. The folder on the harddrive with dvddecrypter and then I built and wrote it with imgburn. I can't get single verbatim DLs here so I bought fujifilm. If there's nothing wrong in the log I will try to get one of the verbatims!

Hi, I've got a problem with my dual layer dvds and my dvd-player. I made an image with dvd shrink and burnt it on a dual layer dvd. It works well in my laptop but at the standalone I came to the starting screen "press this to watch this dvd in german". After pressing it the dvd in the standalone makes a "click" and it stops. Firstly I thought it was my fault as I burnt it stupidly with max speed instead of 2,4 like written on the dvd and without a layer break. Then I made it like it's written in the guide with the files from the video_ts folder, a layer break and the speed of 2,4. The same problem, I get till the starting screen and after pressing play the "click" comes and the player stops. Any ideas if this is a burning/dvd-problem or a dvd-player problem??? I forgot to write it's a fujifilm DVD +R DL and this information from imgburn: Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: RITEK-D01-01 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: 16.515.807 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2.100.367 Layer Information: Layer 0 Sectors: 1.903.760 (50,87%) Layer 1 Sectors: 1.838.960 (49,13%)
