Urgent!! Please help me burn to dual layer dvd!!

I've done a wedding video and I need to burn it to a dual dvd, using DVD Studio Pro!!
I've purchased Verbatim +R DL 2.4X
I've never had a problem burning signle layer dvds.
When I look at my system profile it says that I can burn dual dvds...

When I try to burn my DVD I get an error that says:
"The recording device reported the hardware error: Unknown device error. (0x44, 0x90.)"
Please Help!!

I'm not familiar with that specific error but I would recommend using Toast to burn your disc if you have it. I have found much more success using that over DVDSP.
Another option would be to use Finder. Put in your blank disc, in Finder choose New Burn Folder, put your files in that window and burn.
Third, you could use Disk Utility to burn as well.
I hope this helps.

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.

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.

Helpful info on burning to dual layer DVD's

I had posted a couple of questions two weeks ago re: burning an idvd project to a dual layer DVD. Was successful in the end. Further to this, Larry Jordon's December newsletter (www.larryjordon.biz) includes a very informative article on burning dual layer DVD's. I recommend it highly. Each of his monthly newsletters have a lot of helpful tips on fcp etc. (and no, my last name isn't Jordon!!)

Just for future reference, the correct address is: http://www.larryjordan.biz/. There was one letter off in the original posting.

How do I burn a dual layer DVD video with Premiere Elements?

I am trying to burn a video from Premiere Elements to a dual layer DVD. I choose "DVD" -- and it seems to recognize my disc -- then I "fit to disk" (the video is one hour -- then I attempt to burn -- and nothing happens. I have tried it on my internal DVD and on my external BluRay --neither seems to work

If you insert a DVD double layer single sided disc in the burner tray, Premiere Elements recognizes that as such with Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc. If you insert a DVD standard in the burner tray, Premiere Elements recognizes that for what it is.
The only time you see a distinction for double layer vs standard disc is in the burn to folder.
Both DVD disc types use the same max bitrate 8.00 Mbps. But, the DVD standard capacity is 4.38 GB not really 4.7 GB, and the DVD double layer single sided is 7.95 GB not really 8.5 GB. That has to do with the disc capacity labeling and not Premiere Elements.
Good job with the burn to folder. In a time crunch, you can take the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved folder and take it to DVD-VIDEO on DVD double layer single sided disc using the ImgBurn program.
But, back to burn to disc....the successful burn to folder is pointing to the burner or the disc itself. What brand disc are you using?
What is the mode of failure for your burn to disc....you say nothing happens. Does that mean you hit the burner button and nothing happens?
We could look at deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or do a program uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled. But, let us review the burner and discs situation first.
Thanks.

Oh no, its me again re: burning on dual layer DVD's !!

I had posted a couple of issues yesterday re: trying to burn a project of 4.25 gb using the white moving panes menu from idvd 06 but setting it to dual layer to get best performance. If I changed the settings (and use a single layer dvd) the project size would kick down to 2.5 gb which to me means less than acceptable quality. Since having issues with my G5 (as it would finish multiplexing and then kick out a message "mulitplexer error-error during formatting"), I hooked up my imac with 225 gigs and did DVD One set to dual layer with no problems and crystal clear video. Then this morning, tried to burn Part Two (with 4.21 gigs) and got the same message I got yesterday re: formatting. Lots of space on the imac hard drive. Using Verbatim brand DVD's. Really frustrating. Anyone had the same issue?

Joe (and SD)
Have idvd 08 but wanted to use a menu from 06. Solved the problem with some direction from the Roxio user group . . . here was the recommendation from a reply (who owns a very nicely restored Austin Healey) after listing the issue there:
"Toast does not change the contents of a disc image when burned in the Copy window. So it can't remove menus. Control click on the iDVD disc image and choose Mount It from the Contextual menu (or choose Mount in Toast when you've selected it with the Image File setting in the Copy window. Now preview it with DVD Player. (You may need to press the space bar in iDVD to get the main menu to appear). If DVD Player doesn't automatically select it you can choose Open DVD Media from the DVD Player File menu and then choose the VIDEO_TS folder that's in the mounted disc image".
Turns out my G5 is the issue. Tried it there first and even though I could see the menus being created in the disc image process, it still only played the movie. When I duplicated the steps on my imac - all came out fine.
Thanks again SD for your help. Maybe this time I helped you (for a change).

How to succesfully burn a dual layer DVD with a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846?

I cannot burn EMTEC DVD+R DL discs on my iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846. I get the "The unit could not calibrate the laser for this medium.." error.
Can anyone confirm a DVD brand that will actually work?

Thanks, I will try them next time.
In the meantime, I was able to burn my EMTEC DVD+R DL discs using my MacBook (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with an HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA without any problems whatsoever.

Burnning dual layer dvd Encore CS5.5 errors out.

Here is the greatest error I have ever seen.
I got to burn a dual layer dvd transcoded from AVCHD 1080i with fallowing settings.
Edited footage in PPro and send to Encore via Dynamic link, created dvd project using Mpeg2 with 9mbps, Dolby 192 for Audio.
File size to be burned on dvd is 5.67gb, aprox 1 hour 10 min transcoded with 9mbps, 720x40 wide screen, audio is 192kbps Dolby.
There are three menus one is main and tow sceen selection menus, noting fancy everything as default. menus linked as usual nothing fancy and and it is very basic.
All assets, that used for motion menus and main video is transcoded fine, but when it gets to put dvd together I get this error
Encore starts organizing videos for disk and after that it gets to this above and thats it. Press ok Build progress box gives fail message and option to Ok it. After pressing Ok button this box goes away to build panel.
I have tried to change an Automatic layer break to manual still get the same error, I have tried a custom layer break and still get the same error again, I have tried dvd, and an image, and folder for dvd, still the same error there to. I have redone project from scratch and still got the same result.
However previously I have burned many Dual layer dvds using the same method described, and same settings described, and never had this problem.
Nothing on the PS was changed except the updates installed regularly.
Anybody have any Idea what is this all about? Because I just burned 16 Blu Ray discs, and 16 Dual layer discs on one of the project, and next one a day latter this happens.

I'm having the same problem. not once did it, the encore was automatically break in the case of dual layer dvd. now he does not. I mark the box DUAL LAYER 8.54gb, do DVD disc or image or folder, or change the marking of the layer break from automatic tomanual, and it does not. in the end he always gives the message: duallayer requerid.
wanted to know how to do this manually break, because even in the manual or here on the website of adobe, has no suchinformation. does not show clearly how to manually break. please if someone can give a help, thank you.

Dual layer dvd burning

Hi,
I need some help regarding dual layer dvd burning.
I never burned a dual layer dvd before and am going to in the next few days for a big movie screening. So I better get this right.
How do I set the layer break? do I just set it to be automatic or should I set a chapter in the track? if yes, then where do I suppose to put the chapter.
Is there any advise regarding dual layer burning ? so that I have less possibilities of messing things up.
Its a 115 mins movie. Im planning to encode it with 6.5 avg 8 max.
Is it safe to put a lot of chapters in?
I won't have dvd menu. I will just set it to play straight away.
thanks.
Jack

I'm not an expert in the least but I have worked with duel layers and let me tell you than can be a real s.o.b. I'm not sure what the scoop is on them but they tend to glitch out while your burning. I made three and 1 worked perfect the other two not at all and for some reason the 1 that did work only played on about half of the DVD players they were played on. When I got it into a DVD player that worked the chapter markers were not a problem. I had four seperate segments that were linked up and played fine. We used this for a screening in front of about 400 people.
Our feature was about the same length as yours so after the screening we decided to just take the quality down a little (which you can't even tell) and put it on a normal DVD R. We saved a ton in duplication.
Setting the Duel Layer is pretty easy, it's all in the inspector under the disc/volume tab but make sure that in your outline window the main DVD at the top is highlighted. I don't think it matters if you have a chapter in the middle of the footage or anything like that. You can just link up one long stream if needed. Be sure to try out the DVD on the actual player you are going to use. Good luck.

Burning Dual Layer DVD's

Hi everyone,
I have a refurbished MBP- 15.4" 2.53 GHz Dual Core 320 GB with 10.6.3 and Toast 10. As I just got the MBP and haven't burned anything with it yet, my question is, which DVD-/+R DL media is the best to use. On my G4 MDD, I typically have problems burning Sony, Maxell and (sometimes) Memorex media. Normally TDK and Philips work best on that unit.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Thans for the suggestion guys. I did buy the Verbatim DL DVD and they seem to work great. But I can't seem to get them to work with Toast 10:
I attempted to burn a dual layer dvd (Verbatim DVD+R DL, 8X) on my (PowerPC) Mac G4, 10.4.11, Toast 9.0.7. The drive is a Pioneer DVR-109 with DL layer burn capabilities. I turned buffer under-run protection off and burned at 2.4X speed (on an 8X disc). The burn failed. I got the following error right off the bat:
Sense Key Illegal Request
Sense Code 0x26
Invalid Field in Parameter List
I attempted to burn another dual layer dvd on my (Intel) MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz dual duo-core, running 10.6.4 with the stock superdrive. Toast 10.0.3. Same settings (buffer under-run off, 2.4X speed, 8X disc). Same error.
Both times I was burning as Disc Copy of a dmg file.
When I attempted to burn the files on both my G4 and MacBookPro through the Finder/Disk Utility, both burns were successful.
I don't want to have to save an image file out of Toast each time I go to burn a dual layer disc and then burn with the Finder/Disk Utilities. Is there any other really good media burner for Mac that I can use instead of Toast? I don't want one that just burns video as I want to be able to burn data disks as well (both Mac and PC format) and audio.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sense Error Message when trying to burn Dual-Layer DVDs?

Hey all,
I am trying to burn a dual-layer DVD disc with the internal drive in my MacBook Pro.
I am getting the same error message from Toast each time I try to burn a disc. I get no response from Disk Utility (it just says "waiting for the disc drive") and Finder doesn't recognize the dual-layer disc when I try to burn in Finder.
I've heard that it may be a media issue, so I've tried with every single brand of DVDs that I can get my hands on. So far, I've tried Verbatim, Sony, and Memorex. I can't find any other brands of media, even at Best Buy?
I've heard that it may be a security update that might have caused this issue. System Profiler says that my machine can burn both DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL.
What is going on?!??

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The two most common suggestions are (a) try other media, which you've done (and Verbatim normally work) and (b) run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it to see if some dirt or dust on the lens it causing the problem. If this doesn't fix it then it sounds like a hardware fault and best to let Apple check it out.

Errors burning dual-layer DVD+R's

OK.... this is truly odd.
We are running DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 as well as Toast 7.1
Whenever we burn a dual layer DVD+R disc from either DVDSP or Toast 7.1 we get an Error -5001 (AFP Authorization continue) failure during the lead-out. The disc mounts and appears to play just fine, but we are very leery about using these as masters.
We have been able to replicate this on every G5 in the studio regardless of burner.
Anyone know what is causing this error?
We are trying to get this disc to duplication ASAP but don't trust these burns.

I have had the same oddness, some things that worked as a workaround
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3236567&#3236567
As to using the DVD+Rs as masters, usually not a great idea ( you mean for replication I take it?) DLTs are usually more reliable, though I have got issues once in awhile with DLTs. Well once actually and it is driving me nuts right now

Unable to Burn Anything to Dual Layer DVD

Greetings,
I have a new Memorex MRX-530LE dual layer burner, and I have verified that I do have the latest firmware from the manufacturer.
I am able to burn dual-layer DVDs with no difficulty using NERO. I am unable to burn a dual-layer DVD backup with iTunes 8. I have verified this with two different brands of DVD+R9 (DL) media, and I have verified that I am easily able to burn backups using single-layer DVD-5 media.
Can anyone verify whether iTunes 8 supports dual-layer at all? I have searched the forum and find nothing more recent than 2006, and am hoping that others have now experienced my situation, since DL media and burners are common today.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Scott

Hi. I am having the same problem. I have already done one backup and I want to do an incremental backup, but when I insert the DL+ disc it tells me that I will need 14 disc. My itunes is only 6.5 gigs?
I think it's a bug.

Satellite A300 - Can't burn dual layer DVD

Hi, I bought my laptop 10 months ago.
Since then Ive been burning a disk or two every now and then, no intense usage of the driver.
Last week I tried to burn a dual layer DVD, my driver seems not to be able to burn one. I used BurnXP a free burning software that supports dual layer and when it finished the first layer the program stoped responding, I tried 2-3 disk none worked.
Then I tried the latest version of Nero, everything seemed smooth (it burned both layers) until the burning process finished then I got an error message that the procedure was unsuccessful.
Ive tried different brands of disk "TDK" "Philips" "Verbatim" or something. None worked.
I tried a Philips disk on my desktop drive and it burned it just fine.
- Should I head for Toshiba service ?
- Is there any driver/firmware to fix my problem ?
PS: I searched for firmware upgrades but cant find a firmware for my drive .
I have the "matsita DVD-RAM uj-850s and I used the right type of disks DVD-
typ in advance.

>Then I tried the latest version of Nero, everything seemed smooth (it burned both layers) until the burning process finished then I got an error message that the procedure was unsuccessful.
You received this message but did you check the DL DVD after that?
Maybe the data was burned correctly?
I received a lot of time the message that the burning procedure was not successful but I tested then the disk and it was readable.
As far as I know the user manual should contains also some info about tested and compatible disk.
Maybe you should use the DL DVD recommended in this user manual.
But of course this could be also a hardware ODD issue.
In such case you should ask the ASP for the test and check!

Urgent!! Please help me burn to dual layer dvd!!
