can't play home-burned DL DVD+R (Ritek) on my Sampo DVE-661

[lhughes]

I finally sucked it up and bought a pack of Ritek Dual Layer media in hopes of burning a few discs that I couldn't fit onto single layer media. After wrangling with Nero (had to upgrade the version to 6.6.0.14) and my NEC 3500 burner (had to upgrade the firmware to 2.19), I succeeded in burning a disc, which seems to play fine on my computer. But when I put it in my Sampo DVE-661 standalone player (which I flashed with a region-free firmware long ago) it says "Loading" for 2-3 minutes, and then says "no disc".

This is the first time I've had any problem with any media I've thrown at this player. Does anyone know if there's something I can do to make my trusty workhorse handle DL discs?

thanks

you might need a different player. DL is a crap shoot. its rate of compatibility is extremely low these days.

If you're burning a backed up DVD, make an ISO with DVD Decrypter and burn it with Decrypter. Make sure you burn with the booktype set as DVD-ROM, not DVD +R DL.
