elricchampion Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Hello people, im trying to burn a dual layer dvd movie but am experiencing a nasty flicker when i put the dvd in my player. the flicker even continues when the dvd is stopped... very strange. ive set the layer break correctly i believe and am using some sony dual layer dvd's. i can burn single layer dvd's with no problems, as i have some nice verbatims for those but as for the dl's, the sony's are all i have for now. could this be some sort of copy protection? if so, how can i know for sure? i just want to know how to spot it, not get past it im just guessing what the problem is and have no idea. also, to describe what the problem looks like more... you can see the movie in the background, but theres just constant horizontal lines going up/down the screen. any help would be greatly appreciated. thx.

mmalves Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Does it play normally on the computer (using DVD player software)?
elricchampion Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 yup, it plays fine. i just tried it with windows media player and it looks good. i guess this could be an issue with my player? hmmm ive got a pioneer dv-c505
elricchampion Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 Ok, heres an update, I tried to burn something on dual layer media but only using the first layer with an iso that's like 1.5 gb's or something. my player was able to play it... so it can read dual layer, but its not reading dual layer media that uses both layers???? thats very strange... any ideas?
elricchampion Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 no, i didnt think that was neccesary. but i'll definitly adjust those settings. i actually looked at it last night. so im taking it that my dvd drive will be in the list or automatically detected? this just seems so odd. it cant be my dvd player becuase it played a dual layer disk with a movie on its single layer... crazy! im starting to lean towards the file that im burning... except that plays on my computer!!! argghhh! i'll update tonight with your advice. thx
lfcrule1972 Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Make sure you book type the DVD+R DL to be DVD-ROM when burnt with ImgBurn, it could be that for whatever reason your DVD player doesn't like dual layer discs and this might help. I see LOCOENG suggested the same above.....

Will a palyer that only has single layer support play a dual layer that only uses one layer? If it would then that could explain why the disk that just used a single layer worked and the dual layer disk didn't. Like I said, it may be that I'm just being stupid here but at least if someone answers I'll know for sure.
lfcrule1972 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I think all players support dual layer discs (well originals at least) as these are what films have been on for years If he has a fussy player it might not like DL discs that are burnt on the PC as opposed to commercial films, that is why it might work better if he ensures that the book type is set to DVD-ROM
