Error : Cannot set the layer break position when using DVD-R DL media

[nitin]

hello,

 

I get the stated error when trying to burn a new stack of dual layer media I bought. Previously I used dvd+r dl but this time the store was out of stock and I got dvd-r dl. I had no idea there was a difference because this error never came up with dvd+r media.

 

Is there a workaround? If I continue and ignore this error, I get a disc that freezes at the layer break.

 

cheers,

That's how the standard was designed to be and there's no way around

Return them for a refund and go elsewhere (or order online).

so is there anything I can use this media for at all? And if I may ask, why was the standard designed like this?
