DL burning

[dvfanatic]

Hi,

I have tried burning a back up on a DL disc, unfortunately one messed up in the burning process ( pc went to sleep :@), and the other was a successful burn but it does not work into the standalone player. Here's the step i've done hope fully some one can correct it and can get myself a working copy. The dvd burned was reauthored and is on the hd, i made sure thre's a layer break somewhere, i left it at the same chapter as it was in the original, then used image clasic and created iso file sliced at 1 gb(got fat32) and burned using dvd decrypter. the stanalone player is a panasonic and does play dl discs ( it does play the original ). Wut did i miss on?

P.S. ( a side question) I always wanted to know y is it that DL discs are so expensive for us, while for them i belive it is very cheap, aside the mass purchasing factor, is thre a reason as y it is cheaper from the, i mean like in the way they are made or something related tech wise.

Thank you

Can you play the burned DL on your PC?

Did you apply bitsetting/book mark?

Check on these things.

1. Layer 0 MUST have more info on it than L1 - even 20 Mb will do.
2. Each layer has the same amount of data - half of 7.95Gb
3. Easier to let DVD Decrypter pick your LB for you - provided it is aesthetically pleasing but a LB can only be made at a cell change so you should be right.

The dvd does play succefuly on the pc. As for the Lb part am not sure how to check if L0 has greater amount then L1 nor to check if each layer has the same amount of data. But i did check my options in dvd decrypter and when i had burned the cd Lb was set to calculate optimal, as for the book type settings is it on by default by dvd decrypter, i couldnt find an option for it.

does decrypter burn by OTP, and can that be considered an issue?

[blutach]

It should burn by OTP to be optimal. It won't be an issue. You usually need to set the booktype manually, with the little book icon in the write ISO screen.

Did you pick the MDS file or the ISO file. For DL burning, the MDS file is important.

I had created an iso mile with img tool clasic, so should i convert that iso into mds using decrypter, and does fat32 cause a problem for that process.


And also for the layer break after i had reauthored the dvd, i just selected in pgc edit the layer break check mark and set the type to two (STC discontinuity), is tht ok?
