    I've searched this and other boards for fixes on WriteDVD 10 11 W2 errors, but they don't seem to fully answer my problem.

    Several weeks ago, I decided to get down and figure this dvd burning mess. Turned out that Roxio and Nero were conflicting and causing a fuss. So I removed them (yes, fully, using the scrubbing programs mentioned on this site), then installed anydvd and dvdclone.

    After a few successful tests, it looked like everything was peachy.

    Then I tried to get ambitious: Dual Layer. I got a pack of Fuji's from Best Buy and had a go last night....then the infamous WriteDVD 10 11 W2 error.

    I tried a second time with a fresh disk. I thought I had figured the problem...I hand't switched the media type on DVDclone....but still no dice.

    Just before leaving for work, I tried a third time with another one - this time actually thinking and adjusting the burn speed to 2/2.4x. ...and failure.

    That's it in a pinch.

    anyDVD
    DVDClone2
    Fuji DL +R DL
    Brand new Memorex DVD R/W with DL (firmware updated...but it was new)
    reading off a older Memorex DVD player (2 years old? I have not updated the firmware on this)
    Yes, they are both memorex, but they were working fine a week ago with single layer DVDs
    The DVD to be backed up was Pride Fighting Bushido 5.

    I have not run it through Decrypter, but based on comments on other threads, that seems to be moot.

    Hi crumbles
    Fuji is newer in the dual layer market. Best bet is to use Verbatim dual layer discs. They have been making and prefectin longer than other manufacturers. More compatible w/ most drives.
    Exchange the Fuji maybe?

    Give decrypter a shot - or imgburn.
    http://imgburn.com

    Have these setting in decrypter if using AnyDVD
    Tools>Settings
    General Tab - uncheck 'check for structure protection'
    CSS Tab - under 'CSS Cracking Method' check 'none'

    Rip in iso mode than burn the mds file w/ decrypter or imgburn. Burn at 2.4x.

    Thanks Binkie.. will do all of that except returning the fuji. Once you open the package, and "use" a disk, I can't see them agreeing to an exchange.

    Verbatim next time though.

    They should take a return if you claim they are defective.

    Okay, I returned (my surprise) my Fuji DLs for some Verbatim +R DL 8x speed, 8.5 GB/go data 240 min video (for use is 8x DVD+R DL drives).

    My drive is a 8x DL Memorex (see above for fuller specs)

    Using DVD clone, I burned the image to an IO file using 2.4x speed, for a DVD/DL disk type.

    Then I tried to burn to disk using ImgBurn. Here's the error messages I got:

    Almost right off the bat -
    "OPTIMAL L1 DATA ZONE START LBA: NON FOUND! (VTS_01)
    THIS IMAGE AHS NOT BEEN MASTERED CORRECTLY FOR BURNING ONTO A DOUBLE LAY (OTP TRACK PATH) DISK.
    NONE OF THE CELLS MEET THE "DVD-VIDEO SPECIFICATION' CRITERIA FOR A POTENTIAL LAYER BREAK POSITION.
    DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE ANYWAY?"

    I push "yes", then got this message:
    "i/o errr!
    devie: [1:0:0] Memorex 16x-ddl-in 1.a4 (e:) (ata_
    scsistatus: 0x02

    Suggestions from here? Is that disk dead too, along with the previous two tests? These things are pretty expensive...

    Thanks again in advance.

    "Cannot add file to image!

    "Name: 'C:\CloneDVDTE,p\Bushido4.iso
    Size: 7,689,218,048 bytes

    ISO9660 limit: 4,294,967,295 bytes

    reason: File size exceeds the limit imposed by the ISO9660 file system"

    Ideas?

    Under the Options tab choose ISO9660 + UDF as your file system.

    Because you are using ISO9660 by itself according to the error you posted:

    BTW, I love PrideFC.

    That was the default option....so already selected.

    The only box in options that is checked (by default) is "Recurse Subdirectories".

    Yeah, wish I could go to the Vegas event in October.

    I just switched to UDF only, not ISO9660 + UDF, and the calculator works fine. I'm going to start it going just as I leave for work. Fingeres crossed.

    Your drive might be dying on you....check all connections, blow out with some canned air. Firmware is current, using quality media etc. there isn't anything that I can see wrong with your log unless I've overlooked it.

    For a better opinion, you might want to post your query here:

    http://forum.imgburn.com/

    But, doubt if you get any different advise there or anywhere else on the net...fingers are crossed for ya.

    So, although it works fine for SL, when it comes to DL, it may be defective? This is fine, just want to clarify.

    DL burning requires more power than single-layer burning. It's good that you're finding out though now before you get halfway through a burn only to find out there's a problem.

    Faster-speed burning also requires more laser power. It's possible (though I don't know if IMGBurn will let you) try to burn at a slower speed, which is usually a good idea anyway. I burn all my DLs at 2.4x speed or less, no matter what.

    Try 1x, though I DO believe it's your drive then. I had an LG 4163B burner have it's double-layer capability fail after just a dozen burns - and I'm not the only one. My LG is now a single-layer-only burner. Unlike you, though, I wasted enough discs to be able to afford a new drive before recognizing this fact - your discs are probably ok and drives are cheap.

    Your Memorex is actually probably a rebadged Lite-On. If you feel ambitious you could try flashing with the OEM firmware, though I suggest getting them from rpc1.org. Here's a list of possible OEM drives:
