Burning a dual layer DVD

mdybus · Post by **mdybus** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 8:29 am

Hello,
I am considering purchasing the video studio 10. I have looked half heartedly for the information I'm seeking without any results and figured to take the easy way out.

Question: Is it possible to compile and burn a dual layer DVD 8.4 GB with video studio 10?

Thank you for any replies
Mike

I know the answer to your question...it's just that I can't be bothered typing it out.

Ok, yes VS can create dual layer DVDs.

Good! I was hoping to hear that !

I am now using VS7.0 and cannot get over the dvd 4.2 GB setting.

I tried all the updates for DVD but cannot do a dual Layer DVD Unless I am missing something in my p roceeduresand doing it all wrong. I think I will download the VS 10 trial and give it a test run.

Thanks again lancecarr for the input.

There was an update some time back for the Burning Engine to enable dual layer burning but as I recall that came out around the time of VS8. You could try going to the Ulead site and try to find "retired" programs that are no longer supported. VS7 will be in that category, maybe there was an update to allow dual layer burning and maybe it is still available for VS7.

CD/DVD Burning Pack (Version: 3.6.19 .281, Release Date: 2005/07/27)

This is the only dvd upgrade I could find besides the earlier releases of this upgrade. Last week I installed all of the older upgrades first then installed the 3.6.19.281 last but was unable to get over the 4.2 GB limit.

As soon as I finish typing this reply I am going to download the trial version of VS 10 and see how I like it.

Ok check out the new version but if the Updated burning pack is not allowing you the option of Dual Layer (and you ARE selecting that right?) then make sure your DVD burner is also ok for dual layer.

Hi Lancecarr,
sorry its taken me so long to reply but I was busy with downloading and installing VS 10. Initially it seems to me much faster than VS7.0. I'll have to play with it to find out how much I like it.
As for Dual Layer DVD's with the VS 7.0 I also had to reinstall the upgrades because when I couldn't make a dual layer DVD with the upgrade I removed the upgrade files and put my backup DVD folder back. Well after reinstalling the burning engine I tried to make a dvd. the ONLY option I can find for DVD is for a standard 4.2 GB DVD. I clicked on every button I could find and cannot choose for a dual layer. As far as my burner goes I have a plextor PX 716-A, I've been burning dual layer DVD's with it and have checked it is on uleads supported list.
I'll just play with the VS10 over the weekend and decide what I want to do.
Thank you again very much for all your input into this

Mike

Mdybus,
I tried all methods to burn a DL DVD with Ulead S10. The menus work; but the ones after the first layer, instead of playing what they show, repeat the first layer scenes. I put 6GB on the DL DVD. It's not my burner or disc. The burner will burn the DL disc with other software correctly. This is the only problem I ever have with S10, or any other previous version of VS, other than plug-in capturing drivers. I don't know, if the first layer is reading, instead of the second; or the first layer data (which I believe), is burned instead to the second layer again.
Ulead support has responded, but I see they never burned a DL disc, by their responce. Asking me to do dumb----, which doesn't have nothing to do with my results. My disc aren't bad, my burner works fine. They are even telling me to burn at a slower speed, for what? The data is there on the disc, and it reads perfect on all my DVD players; it just isn't the right data. My burner burns what it is told to do. Somebody even suggested to burn only 90%, since the edges are critical. If you burn 90%, how are you going to get to the next layer? With these answers, Ulead is starting to look like Pinn****.
My thing is this; if you have not made a DL DVD that worked properly, then don't give me any stupid suggestions; because you are just wasting my, and your time assuming; when the freaking thing don't work. They even asked stupid questions like; "Do you have your burner set for 8.4 GB"? No, I put a 6GB ISO file on a 4.7 GB disc! If the thing don't work, then say so. DL disc aren't cheap, (neither was DVD's, CD's, the burners, when they first came out at 1X speed), and I see no RW DL DVD's, on this side of the ocean; or firmware update, software, for my burner, so I can burn them.

There are several posts through the user board, let alone this forum concerning burning speeds. It is highly recommended that Single layer discs are not burned at speeds higher than 4x no matter what the capabilities of your DVD writer and the discs used.

I have yet to use a double layer disc - still too expensive for my liking.
However - logic dictates that double layer discs would be better written at an even lower speed than 4x.

Mdybus, Steve;
Thanks for taking time to respond. I 've been burning DVD's/CD's and Cd's for +11 years, I know a data/software problem, from a burning problem. I spent +$1000 on both my first DVd's and CDR 1X burners. My first blank Cdr's cost $15 each. I made 1 coaster, for every 4 Cd's I made. I bought and tried atleast every type of DVD, and found out that if you don't use the top DVD media, you have to burn @ 4x. It's your pocket Steve, but after wasting my time, with inconsistancies, trying to see who would burn @ 4x and 8x's, at the cheapest price; due to some Manufactorers buying from different factories every month. I decided to try the best brands. I use Taiyo Yuden 16x, injet DVD-R disc, @ 12X, from edge to edge; and I have yet burned a bad DVD yet. (I burn atleast 12 DVD's a week) I use Nero confirmation to check for errors. You get what you pay for. So instead of telling people to burn at 4X, tell them to use good quality media. I been burning since 1994. I see no banding or any other defects on my 12X TY burned DVD's. And not ALL experts agree, to the 4X burning solution.
Mdybus, I have Ulead VS 10+, Pinnacle +10, Sony Vegas 6; and Circlinca, to burn my DVD-A's, and I used Nero 6 to burn the 6GB ISO files; to the DL DVD. The other software ISO files work, not the ISO files made with Ulead VS10. I tried the Nero 7, but with Nero 6 & 7; if you edit the video using their software, the video quality is horrible, at their highest settings.
I didn't get off of a spaceship. I'm not going to waste almost $3, on a 8X DL DVD+R; when I KNOW, that lowering the speed will not swap video #10 with video #1. I am not skipping, jumping, pausing, crashing on any of my DVD players. It reads what was burned on the DVD. And you should be smart enough to know, if you burn a single layer DVD, and video #1 appears at the end, and the DVD starts with video #2; burning slower is going to change what??? Do we read English here, or is Steve's only solution to everything, is to burn slowly. No.. Get some change out, and buy some good media, (maybe a good burner) or stick to 4x burning. It's your money, your time.
I'll just have to wait for the patch; hope it's not too long.
