DVD+R DL for home video

[pchan]

Hi All,

I am compiling my vacation video and would like to put everything into 1 disc. It's about 6+gig. My Pioneer 110 should be able to burn DVD+R DL.

Here is my plan.
1. Use DVDLab Pro to author. Usually, I compile to Video_TS folder. In this case, I burn to hard disk in ISO format. Not sure if I should set the layer break at the Pre-mastering in DVDLab Pro. I notice that layer break setting there.

2. Use PgcEdit to set layer break ?

3. ImgBurn to burn to a DVD+R DL. Should I use DVD Decrypter instead, since I already have it in my PC ?

Thanks in advance to your help.

well. for one you will have to use a bitrate of approx. 2800 which is reeeeally low. So, you will need to adjust your resolution to half d1. If the source is good and clean you might get a decent result.

@ greymalkin,
I don't intend to adjust the bitrate. My plan is to burn to a DVD+R DL.

I would use Sonic RecordNow(7 or 8 ),Prassi Ones or Imgburn.If you use Imgburn make an ISO first with ImgTool Classic.

Thanks for the tips.
So, I complie to Video_TS folder. Use Imgburn to make ISO file and ImgTool Classic to burn. Where is the layer break being set ? Or, I don't have to set layer break at all ?

You have it backwards:make an ISO with ImgTools Classic and burn with ImgBurn.ImgBurn will auto set the layer break(unless you specify).

Thanks MOVIEGEEK.

I have thrashed Nero and install RecordNow 7.3 that came bundle with the Pioneer 110 burner. I will try RecordNow route first. If that doesn't, I will go for the ImgTools Classic / ImgBurn option.

Many thanks.
