Problem Trying To Burn A Image To A Dual Layer DVD

My Problem is that i seem to be unable to burn an (DMG) image file to a Dual Layer Disk. I am using Disk Utility to burn the DVD. Everytime I try to burn the Disk i get the error message "The unit could not calibrate the laser power level for this medium.." but my computer is capable of burning Dual Layer Disk's. I Have Done This Before. I have been searching the web for any tips on how to fix the problem and i have even gone out and brought a cd 'laser lens cleaner' which many people clame fixed there problem but no advil. There is nothing wrong with the image file and i have managed to burn the file half way after cleaning the lens with the 'laser lens cleaner' i brought before, at which point i recived the error message "devise failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry". I have not been able to gte any further sinse and am still gettin the first error message that "The unit could not calibrate the laser power level for this medium.." I have also tryed reinstalling the OS but no luck there either. Any Idea's?

Long shots ...
I know for a fact that the Perian QuickTime component causes major burning problems with Toast and Popcorn, remove it and they work perfectly, if you have it installed try removing it.
Failure to calibrate could be the media, what brand do you use ? try Verbatim ...
The CD lens and the DVD lens are two different things, a CD cleaner may not clean the DVD lens (so one burns fine and the other doesn't)

Can the LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive burn dual-layer dvds?

It's a LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive, I think it's part number is 575781-501. It came in my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-380t. I was customizable up to blue ray but I stuck with the standard. Now I'm not sure whether I should invest in Dual Layer DVDs, because I don't know if my drive is capable of writing to them. Does anyone know?

According to these two sources, yes the drive is capable of writing to dual layer DVDs.

Media write error for dual layer DVD burn

I am having a problem burning a dmg to a dual layer DVD using the internal DVD writer. I have tried both Disk Utility and SimplyBurns.
Both program s go through the preparation for the file, and when it attempts to burn the disk I get a 'media write error'. I am using Memorex DVD +R DL disks. I have successfully burned both CDs and regular DVDs with the drive.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?
Thanks

I am using Memorex DVD +R DL disks.
Try Verbatim DVD+R DL discs.

Dual layer DVD will not play after iDVD burning

Hi All,
I am having some trouble making a useable DVD. I have a video that I recorded and imported into iMovie (2h33m long). I exported it to iDVD, which told me that I needed to use a dual layer DVD to make it fit. Here's where I noticed the first problem: iDVD has one option for a dual layer disc, stating that it has 7.7GB storage space, and my discs have 8.5GB. I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD. After burning two discs, I still do not have one that works. It comes up as "supported disc not available" on my Mac, and as a blank disc on any other machine I put it in. It will run on my coworker's brand new iMac, but that is the only one. Am I doing something wrong? The only mistake that I have corrected since I have tried all this is changing the aspect ratio back from 4:3 to 16:9 in iMovie (I am not sure how that happened, as the video was originally recorded in 16:9). I am re-exporting the file to my desktop now in the proper ratio, and changed the quality to HD. I am waiting for the file to encode as we speak. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this work is for my local school board and is very time sensitive.
I am running a 28" iMac, 2.66GHz Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive on OSX 10.6.8.

I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD.
That part I don't understand.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Create recovery media Demands dual layer DVD's

Good evening everyone.
I just accepted the delivery of my 5 brand new notebooks for my company's new workers.
3 of those notebooks are HP Probook 450 G2's (PN: J4R69EA)
(These are the models with the 128GB SSD drives)
The other two are Lenovo E540’s with similar specs.
So first things first, create recovery media. So that is done before I hand them to the end users in question.
While trying to create the windows disc, the "HP Recovery Disc Creator" program demands Dual layer DVD's: "Please insert a Dual-Layer DVD to proceed"
The DVD's in question I’m using are "Sony DVD+R 120min/4.7GB" discs that in the past have always worked. (and at this moment are working for the Lenovo portables)
Searching this forum pointed me to :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03481733&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en#N80
Unfortunately this is not the same interface I have. I can only choose a drive to create a backup to
(in this case it is Drive F:\ for internal drive)
I also tried an external DVD writer with the same results.
I have not tried a USB stick, but this is not what I want and since you can only create one set of backups…
Link to a screenshot: (you need to copy paste it into your browser apparently)
http://loxsvc.netau.net/HP/HP%20Discss.png
This would not be that big of a problem if there was an actual windows 7 key printed on the portable.
If I had a key, I would just reinstall the machine straight away with a clean windows 7 image so I dont have to clean out all the HP software.
but unfortunatly this is not the case. so i need a Windows 7 Recovery disc to be created.
Any suggestions besides buying DL DVD's?
Thank you for your time

Hey @SCamm ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Dual-layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data. DVD+R DL also called DVD+R9 are what is needed to create the Recovery media on this notebook. Sorry to say.
Thanks.

Dual Layer DVD Stock

Has anyone had any good / bad experiences with any brand of dual layer DVD stock? I'm getting ready to start a project and I have an external LaCie dual layer burner that I want to burn to. Thanks in advance!

I have also had miserable luck with Memorex DVD-R DL blanks. The only ones that verify at all are those that I burn at, 1x and two out of three of those are coasters. At $3 each that's really annoying.
I think I'd have gotten more enjoyment out of lighting cigars with the $60 I paid for the 20 discs rather than giving it to Staples for expensive coasters.
Taiyo Yuden, Fuji, and newer Verbatim seem to be the best mfg of DVD-R DL blanks. But their stuff is still pricey. Mitsui also makes great blanks, but I don't know if they are making DVD-R DLs yet.
Check out this website that rates optical media:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media.dvdmedia.htm
I did find a vendor who would sell me Taiyo Yuden DVD-R DL blanks for $1 ea., but I needed to buy a minimum of 300.
Beware that if you are burning a DVD-Video disc via DVDSP to one of these beauties, DVDSP does not verify the burn afterward like Toast or the built-in OS X disc burner.
So you may not be aware of errors in your disc. Watch out for this if you are burning a disc to send off for mastering.

Dual Layer DVD media help

Does anybody know what DVD +R or -R Dual Layer media is compatible with Macintosh (specifically, Dual 2.5 Ghz G5 running the Final Cut HD Studio.
I tried Fujifilm DVD+R DL and DVD Studio Pro 4 did not recognize the disc when I tried to build/burn the disc. The Apple Store does not sell any Dual Layer DVD media and Best Buy only had the aforementioned media available for sale.
What do the Hollywood studio use for their dual layer media?
Thanks!

Hi David,
I authored a dual layer DVD a few months back and had no problems with Memorex DVD+R DL media. They came in 15 disc packs.
I'm in Miami, so I can't say what the Hollywood studios are using for one-offs, but the dual layer DVDs you rent
from BlockBuster or NetFlix aren't recordable DVD media discs. They're DVD-9 discs from a replication facility.
Cheers and happy authoring,
Jeff

Is dual-layer DVD capability real?

Has aaaaaaanyone been successful in burning a 2 hour movie to a dual-layer disk. I have tried two different Macs (08 laptop and 09 tower), have varied burning speed( from fastest possible to 1x), used 2 different brands of disks and tried playback on two different DVD players. The disks always choke and skip about 2/3 of the way through the movie. If Apple is going to advertise and sell a capability, they should first make sure it works reasonably well in real world conditions. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Is dual-layer DVD capability real?
It works for me. I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/08.

Dual Layer DVD...

I want to burn my movie onto a dual layer DVD. There is a selection in DVDSP4 for dual layer, but how do I prep it for a lower compression/dual layer option in Compressor?

Not necessarily - passes impact the encode time, the first pass is a test encode, the second one is the real thing (think of it has a rough draft). It has nothing to do with whether you're using single or dual layer media.
It shouldn't change size in DVDSP - once the file is encoded that's it - it's going to stay that size no matter what. If its coming out at 4.7 GB you may be able to get away with single layer media.

Dual Layer DVD Burners? (Best Choices)

What are people having the Best luck with Dual Layer DVD wise?
I have an older G4 (as seen on bottom of post)
I've been reading that the DVD+ format is the way to go as far as Dual Layer DVD is concerned..
Does that mean I wouldn't be able to play it back on my single layer SuperDrive?
Thanks,
Eric

Can't anyone give me a couple of good choices for Dual Layer DVD Burners for the G4?
I know that LaCie makes one, are they're any better choices?
Thanks Again,
Eric
Which model of LaCie, or others are recommended?
(or not recommended?)

Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk? If not, which of the components is at fault?

When I spoke to a person about upgrading from Premiere Elements 10 to 12, I specifically asked if the program could burn DUAL LAYER 8.5 dvds and I was told that it could. That is the ONLY reason that I upgraded. Since recording in full HD the files are larger. I video plays for local theaters. I have been trying to burn a disk that is 7.5GB (2 hours 15 minutes). I bought RIDATA -RDL 4x 8.5GB disks. Then had a dual layer burner installed in my computer. Premiere Element dialog "incompatible disk" The RITDATA says the problem is Adobe, the Geek Squad says the problem is Adobe.
SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION: Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk? If not, which of the components is at fault? I am trying to burn 18 copies of this video (no copyright infringements) and don't tell me to to divide it into 3 disks.

drowning
Can Adobe Premiere Elements 12 burn a dual layer dvd disk?
Short answer: Yes.
What are you burning to DVD disc - DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD?
Does your DVD CD burner support double layer single sided discs?
Premiere Elements is supposed to (been there and done that....)
1. burn to Folder (8.5) for Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD
(you take the VIDEO_TS for the former and BDMV Folder in the latter to a program like ImgBurn
for the actual burn to the DVD double layer single sided disc)
2. burn to disc 8.5 GB/240 minutes
Have you gone the burn to folder Folder (8.5 GB) route?
Have you tried another brand of disc in spite of by the disc manufacturer and the Geek Squad are telling you?
A double layer single sided disc is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes. In reality, that 8.5 GB is 7.95 GB. Where are you
coming up with 7.5 GB for your disc? Was that due to typing glitch?
Please review and consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Add On..Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update yet? If not, please do so using the opened project's Help Menu/Update.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user.

Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.
