Pre set layer break on DVD+R DL aint working

[FROSTY]

Hi!

 

So this is my very first thread,and my first try on the ImgBurn program.

 

The main reason for trying this program was that Nero didn`t get around the problem with burning a DL DVD.The DVD is set up from using vob files.

 

I enter this Nero log just to show the problem(just to fully show what I found).I`m a tech noob so bare with me.

 

0 Data Zone Capacity set to 2023920 (1EE1F0h, 3952MB) -> ERROR, capacity different:

L0 Data Zone Capacity on disc: 2086912 (1FD800h, 2038MB)

L0 Data Zone Capacity requested to be set: 2023920 (1EE1F0h, 3952MB)

 

 

 

 

I`m using the guide called "Creating a double layer ISO on your hard drive using ImgBurn"

 

All is fine up to the point of creating the layer break position. I only get one cell option,and it`s only rated "Good" on legend.I personaly not think it`s very good at all,it`s clear as day and actually during a song.When seeing the "Create the layer break position " picture in the guide it made me belive the program would give me many cell choices to pick from?Again I only get one choice,and this pre set layer break is not working in Imgburn or Nero.

I 20:21:22 Destination Device: [0:1:0] _NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.86 (F:) (ATA)

I 20:21:22 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66)

The burner doesn't support the media you're trying to use (notice it doesn't show any Supported Write Speeds). Get Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x MKM-001-00 Made in Singapore blanks and it should work

 

The best firmware for that burner seems to be 2.1B so you might want to try that too if you know what you're doing

Thanks for the fast responce.

 

Where exactly in the log do you see that my burner doesn`t support the media?

The only mentioned write speed I see in the log is what I chose for burning of the DVD (2x).When using Nero the burner doesn`t show any info regarding supported writing types,just what it can read.From the Nero list I shouldn`t be able to burn a single layer DVD`s or even CD`s.But all this I can do without breaking a sweat.

 

And I DON`t know what I`m doing,so I don`t think I have the guts to try the firmware you mentioned.

 

 

But I did find some Verbatine DVD+R Dl AZO 2.4 X made in Singapore.

I didn`t find the code called MKM-001-00.

I did find this: DVD+R Specification Part 2, Volume 1, Version 1.0

Is this the same type ,better or worse?

 

All in all :Is this the good stuff?

 

Talk to me as I`m a total noob,borderline insane.

When the burner supports the media it informs the available write speeds, like this:

I 23:45:52 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-001-00) (Speeds: 2,4x; 4x; 6x; 8x)

Your burner did fins the Media ID code (RITEK-S04-66) but it didn't inform any available write speeds, which indicates that the burner doesn't have support for it.

 

Those Verbatim DVD+R DL AZO 2.4x Made in Singapore you found are the ones to get. When you put one in your burner the Media ID MKM-001-00 will be shown, along with the Supported Write Speeds, on the Information pane of ImgBurn

Again thanks for your answers,and the Verbatim DVD+R DL AZO 2.4x worked like a charm.

 

Wholy batshit I`m now the owner of a selfmade DL DVD.

 

God I love this program.
