[Why won't my DVD Player recognise DL discs :( ?]

Sorry - I should say that I used verify at all times - t'was OK

 

and yes they play in other players.

 

Stoopid Panasonic DVR720H player!! Grrrr

 

I can't really use another player in addition to this as this is my main DVD player which has a hard drive and ALL the other sockets are taken up with other stuff.

 

Merry Xmas all!

SOB! #39;(

 

Just wasted ?'s

 

I burned it using DVD+R DL discs and the player says 'Can't Use'

 

Looks like I'm stuffed.

 

Thanks for your help though guys.

 

The most annoying thinig is I think the pioneer 720-H has a pioneer 107 drive in it - which should be able to read them fine.

 

I really hate giving up but might have to, unless anyone else has other ideas?

 

Merry Christmas!

Thanks VERY much for the replies guys.

 

Just my luck - haven't got any more DL +Rs - Just ordered a couple more.

 

I'm gonna start praying now; for when they arrive.

 

 

So if this doesn't work - am I stuffed?

 

 

I'll let you know how I get on once the discs are delivered.

 

 

Thanks again

BOTH - but I don't think the player supoports +r discs anyway. It doesn't play single layer +r discs. I did try it though 'incase' for some reason it might like dual layer ones.

PLEASE help.. I'm desperate to have a full sized working version of StarWars Ep3 on a DVD-R DL disc. I have tried several times and wasted a fortune of blank DL discs! Both +r and -r :&

 

I have a Pioneer 110D v1.37 firmware

Have ripped to an .iso using DVD Decrypter (latest/last version)

Using Verbatim DVD-R Dual Layer 8.5Gb discs

 

Have tried burning with DVD Decrypter and now going to try imgburn.

 

When I have tried burning with DVD Decrypter the burn and verification went fine. BUT the darn disc just won't play in my main DVD/burner/Hard Drive player which is a Pioneer DVDR-720H. However the last disc I tried; a DL -R did play in another DVD Player I have. Which is fine for the bedroom BUT I really really want to get a working disc in this DVDR-720H as this is a vital component in my AV system and cannot be changed.

 

I did read somewhere on this forum that people were setting the book type to DVD-ROM. Then I read elsewhere that you can't change this in the Pioneer burners, YET they do burn discs as a DVD-ROM anyway?

 

So my last hope of success comes in the form of imgburn. I just got the lastest version 1.1.0.0 and went to burn another disc. However, after nervously pressing start I get a message saying ...

 

'layer jump recording disabled!

 

Ccannot set the layer break position when burning

 

DVD-DL media in DAO mode.

 

Do you want to continue?'

 

 

.. hmm what do I do? What setting do I need to change?

 

Is this likely to even work for the DVDR-720H player I have? Does anyone else have this player with this problem? I can't find a compatabilty list for it anywhere. Although it plays all my other DVD-R discs fine. Not +r discs.

 

ANY other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

I've only a few more verbatim DL-R and DL +R discs left and will have to call it a day as I can't justify spending anymore money on dual layer coasters.

 

All I wanted to do was sit down and watch episode 3 in its ful (backed-up) glory with the light off and the sound up.

 

 

Thanks all!

[What To Use? pgcedit, Folder2iso or IMGTOOL CLASSIC]

Thanks chaps

Hello,

 

Not used ImgBurn yet - but stumbled upon this site whilst looking for best and easiest way to burn a DL DVD-R.

 

I understand lightening's nice app can only burn an iso (and I will in future rip DVDs as an iso). BUT for the time being I have my DVD9 film in VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders.

 

After looking through the posts on this forum I have seen no less than THREE different apps mentioned to convert my 'folders' into a suitable .iso

 

Which one of these three is recommended and is most likely to work with ImgBurn?

 

I have a pioneer 110D drive and Verbatim DL DVD-Rs

 

Oh and btw is ImgBurn likely to burn DVD folders in the future?

 

Thanks.

 

MBB

 

 

PS - Glad to see your still 'out n about' helping the world Lightning UK!

[newbie. dvd on HD, can i use ImgBurn to write it? vob files,etc.]

so would you say that PgcEdit is as good as/better or the same as Folder2iso ?

 

Does anyone know if imgburn will be supporting burning VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders in the future or will we have to carry on using the above two progs to convert it to .ISO?

 

 

Cheers
