Ed022 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hey everyone. I'm trying to burn my first dual layer DVD video. So far I've wound up with three half-coasters. I produced a .img from Adobe Encore, and burned two discs from it. Both times, it plays all the content on the first layer just fine, but as soon as it hits the layer break, it locks up in all players, both DVD-ROM and DVD players. Next I tried exporting my movie as a VIDEO_TS folder. I burned that too, met with the same results. Therefore, it's not something in the image, but rather with the way the disc is being burned. In all cases, after burning, the verification process fails on the first sector of the second layer. When burning the image, the first sector on the second layer was a different number than when I burned the folders, but in both cases, that was where the verification failed. All subsequent sectors failed as well: Failed to Read Sector 2069200 - Reason: L-EC Uncorrectable Error Am I doing wrong? Is this a common problem with a simple remedy? What options should I choose when prompted for the layer break position? The first two times I was only given one option; this last time I was given two, one of which had a blue star (very good) and one was grey (average). Naturally, I chose the blue one. "Seamless" and "Don't update IFO/BUP files" are both unchecked. Please let me know what I might do to overcome this! Oh, and before anyone asks, I have Verbatim DVD+R DL discs. I previously had Memorex, read of their bad reputation, and exchanged them for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, check your DMA and firmware. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Have you tried burning at 2.4x. Now you have used MAX = 4x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed022 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Have you tried burning at 2.4x. Now you have used MAX = 4x. Mmm, no, I don't think I have. In the mean time, I tried moving this to another machine to burn, and was this time met with a different problem. This machine (XP, as opposed to the Vista 64 one that I used first) won't even burn past the 50% mark; it hesitates and fails upon the second layer: I 23:13:03 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

Cynthia Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Older burners, like this one, very often have problems burning DL media. Could be that it simple needs to get in contact with a cleaning disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
