trouble burning single layer dvds

[roughing it]

first of all, I appreciate any and all help. Once I become proficient, I hope to reciprocate.

as a newbie, I found this sw to be great. I was able to burn dvd +r dl verbatim discs with NO problem. Now I am trying to burn some hp dvd

Try burning at 4x or 6x to see if you get them to burn. The best single-layer blanks are made by Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden.

 

As for having more than one movie per disc you'll have to use another program to join the movies. DVD Shrink is one of them but there are many that can do it.

thank you I was burning at 2X speed. are yuo suggesting faster speed will work. I though slower is "safer"

As suggested by mmalves, burning at different supported speeds may enable your burner to make a disc that will verify and work. Your choice of media is absolute crap and there is nothing that we can suggest that you do with that besides maybe use it for target practice and get some Verbs or TY's.

thank you also, what are your top 5 disc types, for cd's, dvd's and dvd dl. it's ok if there are different brands for each use. besides dvd's I also burn music cd's

 

do you think with better (different) disc, my problem goes away?

 

how important is "verify', by that I mean once the disc is writen to, if there is a mistake, how does it get corrected. in other words if verify doesn't fly, what can be done to "repair" the disc?

• single-layer DVD: Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden
  
• dual-layer DVD: Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DLs
  
• CD: Taiyo Yuden
  

 

The Verify process compares data on the disc against the source files/image, so if you get errors/miscompares then that was a bad burn.
