Dual-Layer Bluray and PE7 or PE8

Surfing over at Muvipix someone had posted that PE7 does not support Dual-Layer Bluray (BD-R DL 50 gig) on Export.
PE7 supports only standard Bluray discs at 25 gig for Burning.
Anyone know if the latest version, PE8 supports BD-R DL 50 gig on Export...
Thanx..

Nothing is cast in stone here, I picked up the BD-R DL 50 gig info from a one-liner that was posted over at Muvipix.
Here's the link to the thread.
http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=5980
If you look at the original first post, the first paragraph, 2nd line, he states: "When I discovered, that Premiere Elements 7 isn't able to burn BD-R DL (50 GB), I separated my project into two parts."
So I'm not sure if it's true or not, but nobody over at Muvipix questioned that statement (and there are some pretty bright folks that support that Forum).
I was just curious if someone could confirm the PE7 BD-R DL thing, and if true, does it also apply to PE8.
I don't have a blank Bluray RW-DL, and I don't want to spend $30+ bucks to find out (the pricing on these things is ridiculus, especially the BD-RW DL).
I'm strickly SD right now, but thinking of moving to HD and BD-R, I figure it's almost time for me to join the HD party.

  • DVD SP Dual Layer burning and DVD@ccess difficulties

    I'm making my first dual layer project and I can't format from DVD SP 3 b/c I get this error message (see below). I burned the project in toast 6 and the project works fine in Macs except for the URL DVD a@cess link doesn't connect. (It works in my computer) The DVD 2nd layer doesn't work in some PC's. I"m using Verbatim + R DL Media. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
    Can anyone explain this error message to me:
    Formatting was not successful. Layer 1 cannot exceed Layer 0 for a OTP configured disc. Please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.

    Hey James
    this particular error means that layer 1 is larger (as in size) to layer 0.
    since we dont have enough details of your project, i cannot correctly tell you what to do.
    i will ask you however, where did you set your layer break? tell us how much larger layer 1 is to layer 0. what will you be burning your image to, DLT, disc, hard drive? did you check the format properties and see where a suitable layer break can be? did you set layer break to automatic?
    any help could give you a fast answer

  • Dual layer DVD and FCP movie

    Hi
    I am going to try and use a dual layer DVD for a two-parts long movie.
    Is it possible to use a "session mode" ?
    For example, could I burn one layer, in such a way people can see how it looks when they it on a DVD player
    and then burn the second part... or even burn the first one and a little of the second one before burning the rest of it ?
    Feasible ?
    I can use Toast 7.0.2 with my computer.
    Thanks
    Bernard

    No, I don't think you can. It's all or nothing.

  • Hibernate's dual-layer cach and TopLink's caching strategy

    Dear members,
    I understand that caching between hibernate and toplink is implemented (or utilized) differently. Hibernate seems to have 'dual-layer caching' (which may imply they have two layers of cache) whereas TopLink has session cache and shared cache. The way I see it, they seem to be aiming for the same thing. Are there any differences between (obviously there are, only that I do not know them) those two caching architectures, and how different are they?
    Howard

    Yes there are differences :) For details check out

  • Idvd dual layer discs and mkv files

    Hi, idvd will not encode a film if it is over a certain amount of time. The only way round this is to use a dual layer disc. But these are expensive. Is there a way round this or can anyone suggest different software to use which is as compatable with dvd players as idvd is?  Thanks
    Also which software will convert mkv or mp4 to dvd as I can not get idvd to do this. I am using the latest idvd.
    Many thanks.

  • Dual layer DVD and Powermac G5

    I have a Powermac G5 2.7 mhz Dual. I use installed dvd recorder which is PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109, Revision: A912. For the first time in my life I tried to burn DL DVD-R . But I can not. I counn't find an old technical specification fro my mac but is this correct that it does support Dual layer DVD burning?
    What's wrong?

    Take a look at System Profiler - Burning:
    Does your drive support DVD-R DL - or does is support only DVD+R DL?

  • Dual Layer DVD and files??

    Thanks SDMacuser for your help last week.
    Will a .img file burn a DL DVD successfully (assuming Verbatim DL+R media, Toast Lite and Lacie DL burner)?
    Would a .cdr file burn give better results?
    Or should I burn directly from iDVD?
    Any ideas on where to get Verbatim DVD-R DL Inkjet printable discs?

    Check out Sam's Club which is where I buy mine (or Fry's Electronics).... But then again my drive prefers minus media and so do I. Newer burners / S-Drives work well on plus media DL. Older drives sometimes choke on plus media and DL is out of the question unless you own a newer burner).
    I nearly always burn from a disc image at 4x or slower using Roxio Toast (works better than apple's disc utility IMO).
    or see ebay Item number: 260124945356
    Good luck!

  • Backup to DVD doesn't span properly with dual layer media.

    I attempted to use the backup feature in Itunes 7.0.1
    After choosing backup to disc, it provided a warning that the backup would require more than one CD - and that's OK by me, so I went ahead and put media in the drive. It started and after filling the first disk, it stopped and said it was aborting because of an 'unspecified error?'
    My DVD drive is capable of dual layer burning, and I use good quality media. It did successfully burn the DVD, but only part of the library was backed up onto the dual layer DVD I was using. I have used both this drive and this type/brand media succesfully on numerous other projects.
    It looks like the backup routine fails when using dual layer media and backing up more than will fit on one media.
    I could't acess the bug report paga so am posting it here.
    I don't know if it's repeatable, because I don't want to waste any more dual layer DVD's.
    Windows XP Pro, non remarkable system otherwise, P4 2400 - 1G memory no weird startup programs, no anti virus running. pretty much plain vanilla.
    Just thought other might have the same issue.

  • Player compatibility problem with dual layer media

    I've created a dual layer DVD and there is a problem with compatibility from player to player.
    It plays fine in one of my DVD players but will not load in the other.
    The duplicators tested my master on 2 players and it loaded on both, but would lock up if a chapter was selected from the submenu.
    It has 4 tracks of content. 3 menus, and a bunch of chapter markers. The original build had stories (replaced with standard chapter markers) but I removed them hoping it would solve the problem.
    The imported video tracks were created with Compressor. MPEG-2 2 pass VBR max bit rate 7.5. AC3 audio tracks. 7.7 GB on disc.
    I'm already way over my deadline and ahve no idea what to do next other than maybe recompress so the disc is not so close to being maxed out.

    Thats just how compatible that media is... +R DL (double layer) & -R DL are not that compatible. Recordable media is less compatible that replicated discs but double and dual layer media can be 50% compatible at best (depending on your target market...)
    Good quality media, Verbatim +R DL for example burnt at slow speeds helps improve things,

  • How do you set up the tracks, Dual Layer project

    I have a dual layer disc and project.
    The breakpoint will be in the middle of one of the programms. But i don't want that.
    Now i want to had a 'hidden' track on layer 0 (so it becomes larger than layer 1)
    But how does dvdsp4 calculate whitch tracks goes on what layer?
    I've tried to put the hidden track in the outline between track 1 and track 2. But watching dvdsp4 muxing he doesn't put the hidding track between track 1 and 2, but totally at the end.
    p.s. the hidden means it doens't have a button on the menu, so it isn't acceseble for people. it's just there to make layer 0 larger than layer 1.

    Since you are using DVD SP 4 go to the VTS view in the outline tab. (Press F3 Key, click on outline view, and you will icon at top right in that section [still of left side of the screen] where you can toggle the screen from the list you see to somehting that will list VTS) A pciture of what I am describing is on Pg 589 of the PDF manual.
    Drag the "Hidden" so that it is between the VTS for track 1 andd tracks2 (and make sure that there are markers on it (a few at least) so that (hopefully) there should be a layer break in there.

  • IDVD will not burn dual layer disc correctly.

    I have an iMac9,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz with 8 gigs of ram, with a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S DVD-writable to -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW. It will not spit out a properly formated disc from IDVD. I get the "Supported disc not available" message, even though I have encoded it for dual layer in NTSC.
    Has anyone ever experience problems with this? If so, what did you do to resolve it? I've burned through a half a dozen dual layer disc and these are still not supercheap.

    Yes I called and my warranty was up so the nerd on the other end tried to sell me the applecare protection program. I guess my next step is to go to an apple store, but as the person that replied last in that discussion said time is an issue. I guess my biggest problem with this whole thing is that it is obviously the update that messed up all of these superdrives, so warranty shouldn't be an issue. Apple even removed the download link: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070716082804520&query=superdrive

  • DVD dual layer blank media problem

    Hi,
    I used HP branded media without any problems in the past. Now I got a roll of Ritek dual layer DVDs and most unfortunately the drive ejects them as if they were incompatible.
    Does anybody know if Apple keeps a page with compatible media? Or is there any indication which brands would work and which don't? The dual layer media is still quite expensive and I don't know if I can convince the retailer to take back opened disks...
    Best

    If they're DVD-R DL discs then there's the problem. They should be DVD+R DL.

  • Dual Layer Burning (Mac Mini 1.42) UJ-845C

    So I understand that the Matshita UJ-845C superdrive is capable of burning Dual-layer DVD's, however it appears that perhaps that support has been turned off in firmware version DPP9? Anyone know if there is a firmware update for this that will enable the Dual-layer burning? Seems a shame to have a DL capable drive without DL support :,(

    My System Profiler Information does not show "+R DL", yet other peoples systems with the same model drive (but different firmware) DO show the "+R DL" which would be a good indication that the drive is merely firmware crippled to not support "+R DL".
    As for evidence, I think that showing that:
    a) Other peoples Superdrive model UJ-845C supports "+R DL"
    and
    b) The same drive (Matshita/Matsushita/Panasonic) OEM'ed to other Manufacturers (Toshiba, etc.) supports "+R DL"
    is a definitely excellent indication that this drive is "+R D" capable and that the DL capability has been crippled in firmware. Now the question becomes how to get the "real" drive stats from the drive without reading it straight from firmware or otherwise check the drive in a different manner?
    This could be accomplished 2 ways that I can think of right off of the top of my head:
    1) Extract the firmware from the same model drive (UJ-845C) with the D8PB firmware and then update that firmware on a UJ-845C that has DPP9 firmware and see if it then supports Dual-Layer burning.
    Obviously doing will void any warranty, however if the drive does not support "+R DL", it is not a great loss, as it can be replaced with another model UJ-845 that does support "+R DL"
    2) Speak with Panasonic regarding this particular part number and see what they have to say about the capabilities of the drive and whether or not it is a feature that is disabled in firmware
    I have sent an email off to them already regarding this and hoping that I will receive a reply soon.
    3) Speak with Apple directly regarding this particular UJ-845 model number and see what they have to say about it's dual-layer capability and whether it is turned off in firmware or not.
    While I agree that when purchasing a new machine you can only count on the specs that Apple provides as to the functionality of the machine, if indeed the "+R DL" feature is merely turned off in firmware and the drive is indeed capable of supporting this, then that would mean that Apple deliberately turned it off, and the question becomes "why?" The most likely answer would be that they were advertising other more expensive machines that had "+R DL" capability such as the Dual-G5 and the iMac G5, and again we come to the question of "why?"
    I have been using Apple machines since way back when..around the time of the Apple ][+ and I love the company, however if this is a firmware disabled feature, then Apple should provide a firmware update to D8PB that would enable the "+R DL" functionality that all specs on the drive that have been found elsewhere on the internet claim it has.

  • Two hour sequence to dual-layer DVD?

    Hi,
    I'm confused.
    I have a two hour 16:9 sequence (actually 1 hour, 56 minute) that I want to put on a dual-layer DVD. I guess I didn't fully think it through when I sent it from FCP to Compressor and selected DVD 16:9 120 minute fastest encode, because it compressed it to 4.04 gigs rather than twice that size at a better quality. Now I'm looking for a setting that tells it my destination is a dual-layer DVD and I don't see it.
    Additionally, the m2v file that came from that process cut off the final minute or so of my sequence. Why in the world would that happen?
    Kenny

    These instructions assume you're using DSP for authoring. I don't know if iDVD has DL capability.
    The 'calculator' in Compressor assumes a single layer DVD. The key is to look at the summary, which is the far left tab in the Inspector. About 1/3 from the top, it will show the estimated file size. Adjust the bit rate selector until you get the file size approaching the capacity of the Dual Layer disk. You have other restrictions to consider as well. Totally data rate of video(s)audio(s)other data cannot exceed the maximum for the DVD spec (nominally 10mb/s).
    Once inside DSP, when you burn the disk, you'll be asked to select a marker to indicate where the burner will change from writing to the first layer to the second layer. This should occur at a convenient location in the video (a fade to black, eg.) near the end of the first layer capacity. If you don't already have a marker near that point, be sure to add one for the switch-over.
    Good luck

  • Select Dual Layer Option even without a DL-Burner

    My problem is the following: I would like to create a iDVD-project which has the size of a dual-layer DVD and save it as an image. Unfortunately I do not own a DL-burner and therefore the Dual Layer option is grayed out.
    Is there a solution to make this option selectable even without a DL-burner?
    Thank you very much for your replies
    Adrian

    No way that I know...
    Do you know someone with an DL external FireWire burner? That might work.
