I am having issues getting some HD .mkv files burnt to DL+R without terrible errors at layer break, firt using cheap Matrix (fake? RicohJpn) media which was horrible junk, now using Memorex 4x (Ritek D01) which is much better on my LiteOn 20AIH if i use 2.4x instead of 4x (my benQ does miserably with it though) And yes, i know Verbatim is best, but i got what i could afford at the moment. Sooo..I was previously using Nero but someone told me to try Imgburn for better dual layer results, so i am learning to use it.
In any case, I was wondering if there is a particular file system most recommended to choose when burning a data file to a dual layer for maxium space results and / or maximum layer break efficiency?
I had been using UDF 2.01 (in Nero), since it is compliant with XP file systems where the newer versions are not. However, i noticed in the guide here for burning a regular DVD ISO+UDF was chosen, and was also wondering why that was chosen in particular as DVDs were originally designed to use UDF?
Should DVD Video ISO+UDF file system settings also be used for data dvds?
Is there a file system which allows more data onto a +R DL, as i have some files which are just under 8.5GB but are said to not fit on the disk, and im guessing they wouldnt have been released at that size if they wouldnt fit on a DL of some sort...or do DL-R hold more data so imgburn will show it as fitting onto the disk?
And one final unrelated question. Which is the most recommended driver for burning - VSO, Elby, Nero ASPI, or MS STPI? I have them all, i assume one must be better in testing?
Sorry so many questions at once, hope they can all easily be answered =)
PS - as someone else mentioned here in this forum section, it would be nice if aside from the burning guides there was a detailed "manual / guide" which gives information about all the advanced settings in ImgBurn as i can only guess to what half of them do =) I plan to try xbox and pc game backups soon and some of those settings are probably handy to know.
Thank you -
