DVD multitrack / DAO

[crazymoney]

Apparently, according to a DVD duplication company, all of my master DVD's I sent to them are multitrack DVD's
They need single track DVD, they suggested I burn my DVD's using DAO options.

We'll I've double checked this and it turns out that NERO has been writing with DAO enabled.

SO my question is why am I coming out with multitrack DVD?

how can I get it so that my duplication company will accept it?

Did you send -R or +R for duplication?

[crazymoney]

I sent -R

Hmmm...interesting.
They are DVD Video you are trying to have duplicated right?

I use Prassi Ones to burn and the software always tells me/warns me when I have the settings wrong when burning DVD's....then corrects my mistake.

Because Pz can manage 5 different types of DVD recordable media, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM, and because a disc can usually be written in “Disc at Once” or “Incremental” mode, there could be 10 potential possible combinations of medium type and recording mode. We consider 3 of these impossible though, and we also set some other limitations to keep all these modes under control and too maximize the reader compatibility. Please check below the 7 combinations that ONES considers legal.

DVD-R At Once

Only blank disc, always closed.

DVD-R Incremental

Blank or Incr. disc, closed or not closed. Link or Not the data already on disc (if not blank).

DVD-RW At Once

Only blank disc, always closed (DVD-R compatibility mode).

DVD-RW Incremental

Blank or Incr. disc, always not closed. Always link data already on non-blank disc (ONES uses the Restricted Overwrite method).

DVD+R At Once

Not possible.

DVD+R Incremental

Blank or Incr. disc, closed or not closed. Short or Long Lead-out if closed. Link or Not the data already on disc (if not blank). Always record, no test.

DVD+RW At Once

Not possible.

DVD+RW Incremental

Blank or Incr. disc, always not closed. Always link data already on non-blank disc. Always record, no test.

DVD-RAM At Once

Only blank disc, always closed (DVD-R compatibility mode).

DVD-RAM Incremental

Not possible.

yeah, it is DVD video

I even sent them 2 different sets of discs.

1 set I created and burned using Sony DVD Arch. 3.0

Then the second using Nero 7

Both came with same results, I have been burning DVD's since 2002 and never once had a problem like this.

I'm boggled

Thanks for the help

two questions:

1) what is the hardware you are using to burn your DVDs?

2) ever tried cdrecord?

I'm beginning to think it's the duplication company who is either
confused or confusing you needlessly.
