I'm on my last blank DVD, any suggestions.

[Borador]

So I have ripped an image of a professionally done wedding video using nero 7. The video loads perfectly when mounting the image on a virtual drive. I have tried burning the video twice, once using nero 7 and the other time using alcohol 120, which results in a completely unreadable disk (even in windows). It should be noted that the file itself is over 5 GB, so I am using dual layer disks. My burner is DL +R compatible so that shouldnt be a problem. I was reading on another site about ImgBurn, so I decided to give it a try, but am getting an error immediatlely about the file not being mastered for a dual layer disk (even though it was ripped from a DL disk). The log looks like this:

This is frustrating, any help is appreciated.

bin the one you have left and get something better Taiyo yuden or verbatim with ty or mcc dye

 

Actually scrap that your using dual layer so just get some verbatim 2.4x

 

another actually, you would be better off splitting that to 2 single layer discs

 

you get that used to seeing posts about that media erroring out

 

find a program that can compress a dual layer down to single layer

 

 

try using ImgBurns read mode

Extract the files from the disc and rebuild the image using build mode. You might get a proper layer break then.

Yeah, you may need to split a cell to get the LB possie correct. The disk as it is is not mastered correctly.

Yup so I have absolutly no idea how to do what you mentioned.

 

Could you provide some insight please?

[blutach]

Load your files into PgcEdit. Then click burn. After some setup, it will tell you where to split the DVD.

 

Then use VobBlanker to do so - guide on site.

Blu, surely he could just drag the VIDEO_TS folder from the original mounted image into ImgBurn in Build mode, which would then suggest the best layer break. That would be a bit simpler...

[Borador]

Ok I got it to work. Had to use build mode to make a new image from the old one (mounted on a virtual drive). Thanks a lot everyone for the replies.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Exactly what I said in post 3 then!

 

 

Hmmm should I use my invisibility to fight crime or for evil?

[blutach]

@digidragon and LUK!

 

I was working on the premise that the LB cell would need a split.

Be evil. The thought of you prancing around in a cape and red underpants (albeit invisibly) doesn't do anything for me at all. The bad guys always have the best outfits.

[LOCOENG]

LUK could wear a cape and red underpants in either scenario really.

[blutach]

I just loved the title of this thread ...

 

I'm on my last blank DVD, any suggestions.

Yeah. Buy a new spindle.

Very good
