Dual Layer Burn Trouble

[Photo_Guy]

I made a backup using DVD Shrink 3.2 and then wanted to have ImgBurn create the actual DVD from an ISO file.

 

This process works just fine as long as I have Shrink - create a standard DVD format disc, but when creating a Dual Layer size disc image then I get an error from ImgBurn when I try to burn a copy using DL media.

 

I have Roxio Disc Copier installed and it seems to work fine with the ISO image file. Again the trouble I run into is only with ISO files that DVD Shrink has created with the size of a 8.2 GB disc image.

 

I have a newer Pioneer drive with the latest firmware upgade, and can succuessfully create Dual Layer discs with ImgBurn.

 

Any ideas?

Mmm I don't think Shrink can make Dual layer files correctly - if you're burning to Dual Layer media (recommend Verbatim DataLife Plus) then once you have the the files just head on over to the Guides Section and follow the Guide to burning a DL disc using ImgBurn You won't need DVD Shrink for this.........

[lfcrule1972]

Shit forgot to say - DL media other than Verbatims is at best patchy and in most cases crap !

I have had success in the past using Shrink to create ISO DL files that I can burn with Roxio. However I find that ImgBurn is a better buring program than Roxio.

 

Is it possible to use IB to create a backup DL ISO file on an unencrypted disc?

 

If you are dealing with encrypted disc images that is why I have been using Shrink.

 

Here is a screenshot of the error message that I get - which is to say that Shrink is the problem.

What would happen if I hit YES to continue? I don't want to waste a DL disc if it won't work.

 

Thanks,

dvd shrink was never intended for making dual layer backups - hence the programmes name.

if however you have the FILES on your HDD then follow this guide

If you hit 'yes', you won't have a proper layer break. You NEED to rebuild that image so that it's compliant with the DVD specs regarding layer break positioning.

That's what I said !!
