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.

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.

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.
