Can't burn Double Layer

[philbox]

HI

I have a DL Sony Burner and DL Verbatim dvdr's

Whenever I try I get a message saying results may be unuseable. Do I want to continue. I say yes and it errors out after a few hours of transcoding.
But if I reduce the quality to fit on a regular dvdr it burns fine.
I am enclosing the log.
I have little clue why this is happening.
If anyone could help......................

If your trying to backup a dual layer to burn as dual layer you dont need to transcode anything. Try DVD Decrypter using iso read -->iso write method (works for me), unless your original is a Superbit DVD you should have no problems.

For more info and Superbit DVD issues see this thread https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=225001&highlight=

Hope this helps, cheers

Hi

I'm not sure what you mean by back it up. I have been trying to burn from a file I downloaded. It's actually a Dire Straits concert from your country!

I am using Nero. I add the files and it just runs it's thing.
But doesn't work

I read that post a little and saw the part about Nero being no good.
So I downloaded Copy to DVD but I had uninstalled Nero and I can't get this DVD copy to recognize the files

[funkguy4]

what are your files like? are they dvd ready (authored)? more info plz

[philbox]

They are all VTs files.
The appear as
.bup
.ifo
.vob

I would add them to Nero and burn. If it was single layer it burned fine. Double layer was the problem.

But now after uninstalling and reinstalling Nero the dile icons are cahnged and not recognized. They look like apiece of paper with a clipped corner and the letter A???
And calling it an unrecognizable format.

Is that what you need to know??

Thanks


Phil

Gee, I don't get why, when this message comes up right in one's face every time they hit the post or reply button, they still ask us for help in how to pirate a film. Having said that, DL recordables are not currently known for their reliability.

It sounds more like you have downloaded crap (not uncommon) and Nero is telling you this, but you won't listen. I do have a solution for you, although it will take some effort on your part. Go to Amazon, search for the original, and buy it. Then you know you will get a working DVD.

There is no out and out proof that it is warez. Likely yes, but not beyond doubt.

[Nilfennasion]

Understood.

In any case, it sounds very much like we're taking the file associations of Windoze's registry system for granted. I don't know precisely how one lays out what they are trying to do in this case (namely because I haven't tried this sort of project before), but this don't look like it to me. Having tried to transfer VCDs to DVD+Rs myself, I daresay that fiddling around in TMPGenc (sp?) will fix a few problems. However, this whole process smacks of requiring a little more tech-savvy than is currently on display.

firmware update?

[philbox]

This is not an illegal video. The band alllows for this type of trading.
But my problem remains.

[guns1inger]

It still sounds like what you have downloaded is corrupt. You could try rebuilding the ifo files using IFOEdit, to see if this straightens things out.

[funkguy4]

what about playing from HD first to see if it ndeed the source that is erroneous?
