Dual Layer Burning Using Nero 6

[EddieK]

Can anyone help me??

I am trying to burn on a Verbatim DVD-R DL using Nero and a Pioneer DVR 110D burner but Nero will not allow me too.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Imgburn is the best burning application for DL burning. It is far better at handling the layer break than Nero

DVD-R DL discs suck. The best advice I can give, and I love Verbatim by the way, is to NEVER again buy DVD-R DL discs and use DVD+R DL if you possibly can. The -R DL discs cost more than the +R DL discs and even worse, what the manufacturers had to do to get the layer break to work on -R DL media is kind of kludgy.

You MUST without exception set the layer break manually on DVD-R DL media. DVD+R DL media allows the layer break to be set at various places, but -R DL media requires the break to be set at a specific location. I am not sure that any version of Nero can set the layer break correctly for DVD-R DL media. I am working from memory here, but what you have to do is see how many sectors are on your DVD and I think you have to set it for the midway point. 2092896 will probably work on your discs as the value to use, but I can't guarantee it. If your discs are made any different from this (it is theoretically possible to do so), this layer break setting will fail. The current ImgBurn has a Write setting for "Use Layer Jump Recording (-R DL)" that might be helpful to turn on. This illustrates why -R DL media sucks and why you should avoid it. You have to do none of this crap with DVD+R DL media, where ImgBurn can simply calculate the optimal layer break to use for you.
