dual layer dvd writing - lots of coasters - going cheap

[ancient]

Hi
Tried several ways managed to write dual layer dvd BUT on playbback they lockout at the layer switch point. I can skip this point with next chapter search but obviously that is not acceptable - could it be a media problem method as follows

1 Pinnacle9+ capture to form dvd base

2 dvd author (tmpeg) to mak film base (menus)

3 dvdshrink to make iso of dvd film files from the audio_ts and
video_ts folders

4 used dvddecrypter to write the iso file

samsung ts-h552u writer
rw rivision dvd+r dl media

now frustrated

Crap burner i would say. if you want to write dual layer then get an NEC or plextor. I just started burning dual layer and after an initial problem everything is working is okay. NEC 3550A can be had for like 40-50 bucks. Also i would just buy Verbatim DVD+R DL, stay away from other brands. Follow this advice and id bet you would save yourself a lot of wasted time and headaches. Also use imgburn to burn , not dvddecrypter.

Thanx for prompt reply
you are possibly right about his burner but it was a built in speci so i took it wth the deal

i/ve tried all the forums to see what media is recommended yours is the firtst to name one - BUT the link i read here inferred you had to put the changeover point of the dual layer in somehow that is what i have to try first and of course change the medaia ans try your reco mdia

Definately missing.

As for media, pretty much every post regarding Dual Layer problems recommend Verbatim MKM media above all other media for DL work. A quick search would have given you that.
