Try DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD. If the video you have isn't very long maybe there's no need to use dual-layer discs

Try with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden DVD+R blanks (you can probably find them in the online stores listed in this thread) and go for the 8x rated blanks if you can find them

Your drive, like many others, doesn't like the 'DVD+R Reserve Track' command, and that's why this option is disabled by default

There is nothing to fix: the DVD-R DL standard simply doesn't allow the layerbreak position to be changed. With ImgBurn in Read mode, could you insert one of those burned games and copy all the text shown on the Information pane? If you don't mind doing that, of course

Do you have a game burned on DVD-R DL using mRDL that works?

Yes, ImgBurn can do that if you tell it so, but if the layerbreak isn't exactly at those values you've mentioned the burned game won't work.

While you're at it why not add all speeds from 1x up to 72x?

Single layer media is advertised as 4.7GB discs while dual-layer media is advertised as 8.5GB discs. You can see your burner's capabilities in ImgBurn by going to the Tools menu -> Drive -> Capabilities. For a few years now all burners support both -R and +R DVD standards as well as dual-layer media More Info

ImgBurn, by default, uses ISO9660 Level 1. Look in Advanced -> Restrictions -> ISO9660.

If the drive does that by itself I don't know; to be honest, I've never heard about it ImgBurn uses padding at the filesystem level, which means it counts to the total size displayed by Windows and other programs. Now if the drive burns by itself to a 50/50 proportion (maybe for reflective purposes?) it'll do that without touching the filesystem, so, any device that looks in the filesystem (DVD players/computers/pretty much every DVD capable device) the disc will still be seen as a 70/30.

Try Ner0 ASPI. You could also try the other interfaces available in the I/O tab.

Using the ASPI interface (ImgBurn's settings -> I/O tab) seems to work for now, until the next ImgBurn version is released.

Look on the bright side: At least you didn't spend expensive discs as other people did. By the way... There are firmware YH14 and KY06 (respectively) available for your burners. Remove any disc and close the tray before updating. Reboot after updating each one.

Try the other available write speeds. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your motherboard's chipset (use SIW/Sandra/similar programs to identify the chipset).

Yes, the % column takes padding into account. I guess the 5th option is the original disc's layerbreak (notice it has a Good rating and SPLIP is No). Having that many options I would choose the one where a slight pause would be less noticeable (fade-in/fade-out/scene change/etc). Again, if your DVD player isn't very old, having a lot of padding or not having a 50/50 distribution shouldn't matter

That's a very good burner from what I've read. I think Cynthia has one of those, so she can tell you how good or bad it is

That's also a combo drive

You're using the best DVD+R DL blanks available, and your burner can't manage to make a good burn on them on both of the supported write speeds (2.4x and 4x). The less expensive way is trying a lens cleaning disc on it to see if it helps. You could also try finding a newer firmware version for that burner on the laptop manufacturer website. Another option would be trying the Incremental write type (it's in ImgBurn's settings under the Write tab), but this is a shot in the dark as most burners work fine with the default DAO/SAO write type.

There's firmware D400 available for your burner. Remove any disc and close the tray before updating. Reboot after it has finished. Where are your Verbatim blanks made? It's written in the packaging/spindle.

It does matter, as the IDE and SATA interfaces are different from each other. Your burner specifications can be found here and it uses IDE interface, so you should get a new burner with IDE interface.

1) It happens because the source image/files couldn't be read at a fast enough speed to sustain the burn speed you're using. 2) Each time the burn stops to refill the buffers the drive has to relink the burn to continue the burn from where it stopped. Theoretically this shouldn't affect quality, but some pickier devices (DVD players/consoles/etc) may stutter/freeze at these relink points. 3) Defragment your hard drive and check if it hasn't gone into PIO mode (have a look at the DMA post on the FAQ).

You need a DVD burner in order to burn DVDs, and the drive you have is a CD burner and DVD reader, also known as a combo drive.

X360 games need the layerbreak in a specific position, yet the DVD-R DL standard doesn't allow to change the layerbreak position. Notice that this is a limitation of the DVD-R DL standard, not ImgBurn. The other program you've mentioned is probably ignoring the layerbreak alltogether, as no software can overcome that limitation.

Try a lens cleaning disc on that drive and if it still doesn't work get an external burner, which should also give you better quality burns

Please read again my post above as I've edited it to be more clear
