Page 1 of dvd+r dl........burnt me first but £3.50 per go hmmmmm

burnt me first dual layer plus r. Ran it through shrink, no compression then burnt using nero. had a few stories of standalones not reading the discs. All mine play it fine. I use nero v6.6.0.6 and had no issues. The only thing against for me is the price. £10.50 for three.!!!!! I think i will use the 4.7gb and compress until the prices of these drop like the +rs have in the last year.

Anyone else gone the dual layer way? and how much do you pay for your discs.

Mine were Infiniti professional dvd+r dl. Always use infiniti as I have never had 1 coaster......with cdr- dvd+r and now dvd+r dl .....25 infiniti dvd+r £6.50 at me local shop.

UKDVDR had dl discs in at 1.25 or 1.50 each, didnt buy any, cant vouch for quality etc etc disclaim disclaim.

Hi,
I tried the Dual Layer route a while back with no success. Paid about £2.99 each and blew 4 of them on the first attempt to backup a movie. Out of the 4, only one will actually playback and that will only playback on the PC, not on any of my players.
I tried DVD Fab Platinum in Dual Layer mode - it failed with no details of the error.
Then I copied the whole disc to HD and tried a couple of other things but still no playing ANYWHERE - not even on the PC.
Then (using the copy stored on my HD) I dragged and dropped using Roxio Media Creator and that one will play on the PC...

So I now have a pack of 10 DL discs that I`m in no hurry to use as I find the 4.7 route far more reliable...

Cheers.

Same here...I gave up in the end :(

mc7t....try using dvdshrink to copy to HD (no compression) then burn the image out of the Video_TS file using nero. Roxio I know is a bugger for any burn project but have never had an issue with dvdshrink/nero combination. Like my first post my only issue is price...2 x dvd dl`s £6 ........ 25 dvd+r`s £7............quality over quantity?

mc7t what program do you use to put dvd onto HD?

what burning software are you using?

Hiya dvdhouse,
I used DVD decrypter to send it to the hdd, then back to the disc.

As for burning software, i use nero.

I`ll give it a go using dvdshrink & nero (but i`ll need to get another blank ;) )

Cheers,
Mark.

Mark I have decrypter but never use it

try dvdshrink

let me know how you get on

nero version im running in V6.6.0.6

then choose dvd in nero, burn image to disc, click and select the full Video_ts file
