DVD+R 8.5GB incompatibility w/ 6.81GB Iso file

[barriere]

Abstract: Burning a 6.81GB ISO File onto a DVD+R 8.5GB 'Double Layer' was not possible. An error message suggests to stop the burning process. We wonder what we did wrong and whether there are any solution(s).

ok, if i get that right, your trying to burn a DVD movie with all its chapter menus and stuff right?

 

usually, people use a method to shrink the DVD DL so it would fit onto a normal DVD,,,,

 

Ever heard of DVDShrink?

 

It takes your DVD9 and outputs it to a DVD5....

 

and its free!!!

Mount that image to a virtual drive (Virtual CloneDrive is able to do that) then follow this guide using the virtual drive as the source folder. That should get you a proper layerbreak

As eSkRo said, you can use DVD Shrink to make it fit a DVD+RW, but notice that such shrinking reduces video quality.

correct but most of the time,

if you only decide to keep the Main movie,

and take out all extras and menus and chapters,

you'll still get amazing quality!

barely noticeable...

Thank you very much. I have downloaded Virtual Clone Drive. I was able to solve the problem entirely.
