Can my dv5 1017nr laptop burn DVD + R Dual Layer Disks?

Im just wonder if my laptop can burn  Dual Layer format!

It should be able to do it. Which burning software do you have? I know nero will do a hardware info that will tell you what the drive is capable of burning. Also you can go into device manager and get the identification of the drive and then googe it to see if you can find the specs for the drive. I googled your laptop model and some standard specs on the internet showed you have a DVD-RW DL drive that can also read Blu-Rays. Burning dual layers is a bit difficult. They always want to give out on the jump to the second layer. I make an .iso file of the source disk and burn from that. It seems to work best.

  • Correct way to burn DVD-R Dual Layer? Power Mac G5 or MBP Early 2008?

    I have several software titles I have purchased and they are on dual layer dvd, I am using Philips DVD-R dual layer, I have a Power Mac G5 and an early 2008 Mac Book Pro, I have been unable to successfully burn a back-up on either drive. I am noticing dual layer seem to be an major problem across the board, but in the past this has been the place I come to get my answers.
    Thank You in advance,

  • Can't Burn Dual Layer Disk

    I have a project in Encore CS6 that I have been trying to burn to a dual layer disk using an external LG Dual Layer Burner. It is connected to by computer via USB. My Computer Specs are as follows:
    ASUS X53Z Series
    Windows Edition: Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1
    Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
    Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.50 GHz
    Installed memory (RAM): 6.00GB (5.48 GB usable)
    System type: 64-bit Operating System
    It is a laptop computer.
    I have already looked for a solution to this problem, and the only thing I found was that I should click "run as administrator," so I tried that, but it didn't help. When I am burning the disk, it freezes right after the transcoding process. It goes into the writing process and it freezes at 167.94 KB out of 555.35 MB (this is only a test disk, so it's still small at the moment). I know that I am following all the menu limits (etc.), because I was able to burn a single layer DVD, but when I put the movie onto the disk, I will need it to be a Dual Layer DVD. Do you have any suggestions?

    As a test... Create a DVD output ISO file and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

  • Dvd-r dual layer

    Hi all.
    Which kind of encore version (if one) is able to burn dvd-r dual layer?
    I have to burn dvd-r dual layer to allow the dvd to run on Mac.
    Do you know any other possibility to produce a dvd dual layer that is visible also on Mac?
    thanks in advance

    Since you're starting your search now, CS3 is the only current version, and since it's bundled with Premiere (for CS3), there is not trial. CS2 also handles DL DVDs and does a fine job of it, but it is not directly available, at least not from Adobe, or any of the normal reseller channels. This is just FYI only.

  • Matshita UJ-867 (6!) won't burn DVD images outside of Disk Utility

    Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro and Apple seems to have upgraded the SuperDrive to a Matshita UJ-867 model. It seems that this is causing some problems with 3rd party software. I am trying to burn a .nrg file so I have to use Toast 8, but it failed with the sense error 0x09 0x04: "HEAD SELECT FAULT". It's pretty much an error that Google doesn't seem to recognize at all, so I thought my drive was just borked, but it seems that Disk Utility can burn a normal ISO file (it obviously doesn't support .nrg) just fine.
    I also tried with the open source Burn utility and got the same sense error. I'm guessing/hoping this is a software problem that Apple ought to fix in a SuperDrive update sometime, but I'd like to hear from other people with UJ-867 drives and see if they can burn things in 3rd party apps.

    I have new MBP, arrived last week. Came with UJ-875. Using Toast 9.x, I got the same error on the first burn of a dual layer DVD+R DL. The second is burning (verifying, burning done) as I write. I did change the source media though. I'll be trying several other burns to make sure I don't have an issue. This MBP is still under warrantee. One way to get apple to listen is to make them replace faulty hdwr. If I do have an issue, they can replace the drive at their cost, or send me a new laptop. People listen when it costs them money...

  • Burning to a dual layer DVD

    Hello,
    I've just finished a project that I want to take to a facility to have copies made. I've been told in the past that using a DVD-R can create problems with the copies when used in certain DVD players. I'm running DVD SP2 and I can't seem to get the program to accept anything but a DVD-R. Is this a preferences issue or should I take the actual Video and Audio TS and burn it straight to the dual layer DVD? Would appreciate any help?

    It could be a hardware and/or software problem.
    As far as Dual-Layer disks go ... I don't think they were around in the DVDSP 2 days... that's too long ago for me to know (without searching, and searching is your friend in this case).
    Also your G4 might only have a DVD-R drive and that might be why DVD SP is only accepting DVD-R's. You most likely don't even have a Dual-Layer DVD drive unless you installed one later on in your G4.
    How large is the Video_TS folder? You'd only need to burn it to a Dual Layer if it's >4.7gigs and even if it is you need to create a Dual-Layer break point in DVDSP to tell the disk when to switch over to the other layer on the disk. Or if it's just over 4.7 gigs (approx.) you can try and re-compress it and see if you can fit it onto one disk (which may be better for compatability issues, something you seem to be concerned about) - you may end up having more problems w/ Dual-Layers and players compared to DVD-R's and players.
    Good Luck

  • Best External dvd burner for dual layer disks?

    Hi everyone,
    At some point my internal dvd burner in my mac book pro died, and apple replaced it. After that, I couldn't burn a dual layer disk. They've changed it twice more to accomodate me (the genius bar is awesome), but I still only have mediocre results. No problem burning regular dvds or cds. So I wondered is there a REALLy good external burner for DVD-DL that you have experience with? Thanks!

    A good bootable multi-interface enclosure (empty) for an external CD/DVD drive will run about US$70.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSFW8U2RF/
    They also sell SATA drives pre-installed in that same enclosure.
    Many users find installing an internal drive themselves no more difficult than doing a memory upgrade themselves.
    Others prefer not to work inside their computer.
    Based on your graphics card and the original drive, I expect your Mac Pro is an older model. All before 2009 accept an ATA INTERNAL drive such as this:

  • Memorex DVD+R Dual Layer & Power Mac G5

    For some reason my G5 want read a Memorex DVD+R Dual Layer disc that my friend burnt for me. I put the disc in, and the computer just spits it back out at me. Is this normal? What can I do? I got my G5 in 2004 can newer G5s read Dual layers? My friend made it on a Power Book so I dont see why I cant read the disc.

    Yes, they are relatively new. For more on the history of DVD, see this page:

    I typically buy double sided DVD-R disks to burn more than 4.7 GB of data. These you flip over when you want more content than can fit on one side of a DVD. Alas you have to split up the content. Depending on the type of content this can be done by segmenting an image, or compressing the data itself and segmenting a compressed file. What's odd is that some disks which appear on the surface to be dual layer because of their single sided capacity, such as the Tiger installation DVD, are in fact readable by all DVD drives that are on Macs, whereas the commercial DVD+R DL is not. I don't know the difference between commercial and consumer grade Dual Layer disks, but there does appear to be one which makes them readable on Commercial grade whereas Consumer is not on older DVD players.

  • Verbatim DVD+R Dual Layer 8.5GB Printable Discs - Anyone?

    Just wondered if anyone had used Verbatim DVD+R Dual Layer 8.5GB Printable Discs or even just DVD+R Dual Layer Discs in their superdrive and whether they had been compatible ok? Im thinking of buying some but want to ensure compatability before i buy because theyre very expensive!
    Cheers

    i am burning as we speak, a verbatim dual layer dvd and have had no problem.
    Unfortunately, that wasn't the question. You are probably using Verbatim DVD plus sign R DL, whereas Graham is asking about DVD minus sign R DL. Please qavvik, check out that little detail on the discs you are burning and let us know.
    Graham's question is actually extremely timely for current iMac users. Anybody know for sure if these new -R DL discs are compatible with the current SuperDrives, such as the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K04L? Did Graham get a bad batch?

  • DR4-A and DVD-9 Dual Layer

    Hallo.
    I purchased (December 2003) a DVD DR4-A but when I try to read a DVD in format DVD-9 (Dual layer I suppose) I am not able to read it, instead the other DVD media, not Dual layer are readable by DR4-A.
    I tried to install my DR4-A in another PC but I obtain the same problem
    I am not able not even to browse it from explorer.
    If I try that media DVD-9 in another DVD optical I am able to see it.
    So I think that the problem is on my DR4-A
    I tried to upgrade firmware to 2.50 version but I have the same problem.
    I have a PC with Windows XP Pro SP1.
    Can you hel me?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mario from Italy

    It looks to me that you had bad luck and received a defected drive. I suggest you return the drive to your vendor and ask for replacement - I have the same drive and no problems with any DVDs. Moreover, do not upgrade to firmware 2.50 if you want to use CloneCD - this fw is a piece of  that does not support RAW DAO/SAO modes that are needed by CloneCD (and maybe some other soft) for copying some copy-protected CDs. The latest usable fw is version 2.30.

  • DVD-R Dual Layer copatability

    I've been burning DVD's from i-DVD to DVD+R Dual Layer DVD's for some time without any issues now.
    I've just bought some DVD-R Dual Laer disks from Verbatim and my i-mac does'nt even seem to recognise that he DVD is in the drive & spits them out again.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to check if my superdrive is compatible with these disks?

  • Burned dual layer disk w/idvd 603- audio out of sync w/video

    i burned a dual layer disks with idvd 6.0.3 and the video stalls about 20secs in, and then when it uh, "unstalls", the audio and video are totally out of sync. this goes on for the whole 90 min movie. if i play a scene from the scene selection menu, it works fine. also, it works fine when i play the movie from the project file from either imovie or idvd. its only the final burned product thats affected. i tried deleting the "encoded assets" and burning it again, which didnt work, same problem. finally, i tried both disks on a settop dvd player and apple dvd player application on a few different computers.
    dont know what to do. the idvd project file is working fine untill i burn a disk. the problem is only on the burned dvd. so i guess i need to trash my whole project (AGAIN!!! YAY!!!) and start over (AGAIN!!! YAY!!!). wow, ive never had so many problems with an application before in my life. i dont have much hair left to pull out.

    Have you tried burning a disc image to the desktop yet from the file menu within iDVD6 and using apple's dvd player app to actually play said disc image?
    Click here
    if the image plays exactly as expected then we're looking at a media issue and not an iDVD issue. j/c ...what brand of media and type are you currently using? Verbatim & maxell are the recommended choices ....
    also try lowering the burn speed within apple's disc utilities or Toast to 4x or lower.

  • Burning to dual layer disks

    In DVD Studio Pro 4, my movie is too large to fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD disk (I got a dialog box saying the media won't fit). Is there a preference item or setting somewhere, where I can set it to dual layer disk instead of a single layer disk. Toast has such a setting option. Does DVD Studio Pro 4?

    Welcome to the Boards
    As  Certified mentioned you will need to set the disc to Dual Layer
    Press the "F3" key and it will look like the image in the following link:
    [Lay of Land|http://dvdstepbystep.com/layofland.php]
    The disc will be in the upper left section (blue), and in the image in the link it is "Untitled Disc", click on it and in the inspector (in the lower section in bright purple) the second tab from the left will "Advanced" where you set the DL.
    One important thing to keep in mind is that you will need a layer break since you using a Dual Layer Disc - there has to be a break point where it crosses over from Layer 0 to Layer 1, if you have no Chapter Markers at all (or a limited number of Markers, none of which fall near the point which is a bit more than half the size of the assets) you will get an error that a Layer is the wrong size.
    What you do is
    1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstimate the Layer Break(s) should be
    2.) Build the project (but not format)
    3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) If no marker is black there is no marker in the right place, regardless of you use automatic or not.

  • Why can't I play self burned DVD-R disks?

    i cannot play self burned DVD+R disks in my Mac PC. Can i load something to play it with?
    Thanks, because all my VHS early childrens self made movies  are on this media.

    Were your DVDs burned/converted into VIDEO_TS DVDs?
    It could also be that you ptical drive has trouble with the DVD+R discs. Some hardware has trouble with the +R discs. I personally have had some trouble with the +R discs in the past. Since I've permanently switched to DVD-R, all problems have disappeared.

  • How can I work through a Burn DVD problem?

    In a perfect world, you could put together a project out of any media, click the Share tab and burn it to a disk. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons – some related to Premiere Elements, most related to operating system drivers or program conflicts, this sometimes doesn’t go as smoothly as it should.
    The simplest solution is to break the process down into its elements and then troubleshoot each element individually.
    There are three main reasons for a problem burning a DVD or BluRay disc: challenging source video (including photos that are larger than the recommended 1000x750 pixels in size); interfacing issues with your disc burner (often the result of a program like Nero not sharing the burner with other programs); and lack of computer resources (namely lack of available scratch disk space on your hard drive). This workaround eliminates most Burn Disc problems. And those it doesn’t eliminate, it at least helps you isolate where the problem is occurring.
    1.    Burn to a folder rather than directly to a disc. Select this option from Share/Output/Disc. This eliminates the possibility that other disk burning software is interfering with communication with your computer’s burner. Once the disk files are created, you can use your computer’s burner software to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and its contents to a disk.
    If this doesn’t work, it could be that your computer lacks the necessary resources, as discussed below.
    2.    Clear space on and defragment your hard drive. A one-hour video can require up to 50 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your hard drive to render and process (depending on your source files). Even a “pure” AVI project can require 20-30 gigabytes of space.
    Clear off your computer and regularly defragment it, per Maintain Your Computer, above, and you’ll reduce the likelihood of this being an issue – assuming you’ve got an adequately powered computer and an adequately large hard drive in the first place.

    Hi
    What I would do is start a new project i.e. XXXXXX Final Cut.
    Then I would import the finished AVI file into the project and burn it to DVD.
    I have also found that PE is sensitive to the files being fragmented.
    When I have a project in the works I defragment the drive or the folders that the project is before proceeding.
    This has actually made the difference between whether it would work or not on some projects.
    I also shut down and restart the program just before burning the project to disk, to clear out any thing using resources.
    I use Defraggler to defrag my files it's free and works really well.
    And you can chose to defrag what you want or the whole drive.
    I run it several times a day when I'm working on big files.
