Error with dual layer disk

[burchis]

Newbie here so please be kind,

 

I have been burning my own DVD+R for about a year now and wanted to start creating DVD+R DL disk. I am having trouble getting 2 of my 3 DVD players to read the dual layer disk. All of my single layer disk work fine in these two players (Zenith XBV443 and Phillips DVD726). The third player (JVC HR-XVS44U) successfully reads and plays both single and dual layers DVD's.

 

I'm probally in the wrong forum but any help would be appreciated.

I'm also very new to Dual Layer business, but did you try burning it at a lower speed?

 

There's also this setting that defines the 'layer break' (point at which it start switching layers), this could also have something to do with it. I'm no expert though.

put the burnt disc in your burner , open imgburn in write mode and take a look on the right hand side at the , physical format information ( last recorded )

[cornholio7]

Thanks for your reply. I checked the disk and the 'book type' showed DVD+R DL instead of -ROM. Where or how do I change this setting?

 

Thanks for your help.

on the lower right corner of IMGburn screen there is a little icon that looks like a book click on it and you will see a number of drive manufacturers find your drive and click on it (if its there) then use the Change For setting and then new setting .If you could have posted a log all that info would have been there Drive, Os, etc etc if you happen to own a sony use the LITE ON tab they make the sony drives

Disregard my last post, I found the tab for NEC. Thanks eveyone for your help.

I have a couple of follow-up question.

 

1) Should I change the booktype when burning single layer disk?

2) If I use dual layer disk to archive computer data, should I change the booktype or leave it DVD+R DL?

3) Does anyone know of any reference articles about bitsetting/booktype?

 

Thanks again for all that has helped me on this forum.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

There's no reason I can think of as to why you WOULD NOT do bitsetting.

 

So if the drive supports it for SL media, do it.

 

Personally, I see no point in doing it on DVD+RW, but then I guess it depends on how you use those sorts of discs.

 

DVD+R and DVD+R DL, fine, bitset away - and it doesn't matter *what* you're burning.

[lfcrule1972]

I bitset my DVD+R's just in case any old stuffy players object to DVD+R

[lfcrule1972]

they were utter shite

 

 

 

They were crap for me too !
