    Hi I am using the Plextor 716a DL burner and One Click DVD copy to burn DL DVDs onto Memorex DL media. I have burned about 4 movies and in each one toward the end around ch 14-17 the playback freezes and in all my dvd drives/players says it cannot read disc. Usually this happens in a chapter toward the end of the movie. If I skip it the rest is usually fine although it happens more than once on some dvds. Please help I have also tried burning an ISO and then writing it and same problem.

    Memorex DL is probably Ritek D01 media. It'll work but is more problematic than Verbatim DL media. It works best with latest firmwares. You didn't specify the make of your burner nor the firmware version, so until you do that we can't help much more. I'm not familiar with One Click. I prefer DVD Decrypter myself. So let us know the brand of burner and the firmware version and we'll go from there.

    The burner is Plextor DVDR PX-716A. Firmware was 1.08v now update from Plextor website to v1.09

    Hey dvdborn. Sorry I meant the speed of the media (2.4X, 4X) rather than the brand of burner. I was thinking about something else when I was typing my reply to you. I wouldn't overburn this DL media even if the burner's firmware allowed it. In other words, if the media is rated 2.4x, burn at that speed even if your burner's firmware allows a higher speed. Let us know how you make out.

    With DL I'd say burn it at 2.4x no matter how high it's rated.

    One click copy doesn't let you choose a burn speed. But i'll try it with ISOburn.

    For ripping and buring DL media, I highly recommend DVD Decrypter and using the 2.4X - 4X DVD+R DL Verbatim (Made In Singapore) media only. Apparently, no other DL media can top the Verbatim at the moment.

    Hello Dvdborn,

    If you ware talking about 1ClickDVDCopy, it comes with VSO CopyToDVD3_SE (Special Edition) which I am told will let you choose the burn speed.

    My 2 cents...

    Does DVD decrypter allow you to burn Dual Layer DVDs?
