ok im tryin to burn onto DVD + R DL,i was going to test out using movies already shrunk w/dvd shrink to fit on a regular blank dvd and burn w/dvd decrypter as that is what i usually use already,now how can i add multiple movies to get onto the dvd DL disc or what is it exactly i have to do to burn movies on these
DL disks are usually used to make an exact backup copy of a pressed (commercial) DVD. The usual procedure is to use DVD Decrypter to do so as follows. Set the Mode to ISO Read and rip to the hard drive. Set the Mode to ISO Write and burn to the blank double layer media. It is important to make sure your burner's firmware is up to date and that it is capable of booktyping +R DL media as DVD-ROM. Many standalone players will not playback burned DL media unless booktyped to DVD-ROM. Using -R DL media is not advised because it cannot be booktyped. If you want to place multiple disks on a single DL DVD you must use a reauthoring program to create a DL iso image file for burning. You'll need a menu to seelct the title. Nero Vision Express, TMPGEnc Author, etc. can all be used to do this. Personally I wouldn't waste a DL disk. Why not just backup one of your disks fully with an exact copy.
It would be cheaper to just burn 2 seperate single layer disc. Rather then burn 2 on 1 DL disc. If your backing up a DVD that is DVD9 then all you need to do is use DVD Decrypter. To rip to hard drive MODE/ISO/READ Then to burn MODE/ISO/WRITE You wont have to send it threw DVD Shrink or any recoding program. DL disc is DVD9
so basically if i have ISO Files already on my PC Shrunk i cant put more then one of them on a dvd +R DL.Also how and where do see if i can booktype to DVDROM so it will play in stand alone dvd players
When you have decrypter open and a blank disc in the drive click on tools>drive>change booktype. Then select the media and select the change to and click change. Good to to.
do i change booktype ONLY when i burn DL Discs Sorry for being a pain in the ass,also was i correct in assuming that i cant put more then 1 iso file onto a dual layered disc
An iso file is a disk image file so only one to a customer. To combine "ISOs" you must use a reauthoring program and combine into a single iso. As to changing booktype, one would probably do that for all +R media (+R, +RW, +R DL) as long as the burner's firmware allowed doing so. When you change the booktype, there are two choices: one says temporary and the other doesn't. The one that doesn't is "permanent" and will always booktype that type of media until you change it again. The temporary is only for that burn. There isn't much point to temporary imo.
