First I use Media type-Verbatim When burning I ofcourse shut off virus scans and shut off screen savers. AnyDVD and burn with Nero recode. I also have DVD shrink and Decrypter but have not used them in a while for I love Nero recode. I use my 712A to burn the movie from to my Plextor 716A. The 712A and 716A are on the secondary Ide cable,712A slave,716A master. I tried to backup Anchorman and Boogie Nights and for some reason can't get the menues to work(Special features etc) and on my one DVD player most times goes to error when trying to play. On Anchorman I can't even get to the main menu On Boogie Nights when trying to access special features it freezes on DVD players and just shuts off if using power DVD on my computer. I backedup Excalibur which is dual layer and it plays fine on computer and on my players. I have not had any problems backing up single layer discs and been doing that for months, so I am just pulling out what hair I have left on my head figuring out the dual layer problem. What am I doing wrong for it is getting exspensive having disc that don't work correctly. Thank you ahead of time. Al
Remove all discs from drives. Open DVD Decrypter. From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Read'. Put DVD-9 disc in drive. Take note of the 'Destination' file name. Click the big 'Decrypt' button. Take the DVD-9 disc out of the drive. From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Write'. Put a blank double layer disc in your DVD Writer. Click the little folder icon - 'Browse for source file' - and select the MDS file created for you as part of the steps above. Click the big 'Write' button. MDS FILE CONTAINS THE LAYER BREAK INFO USE IT!
Never used those for dual layer burning but I will try this. Does this mean Nero recode is no good for dual layer burning? Thank you
hi yes 1 app done! on nero i dont know as mostly i use on CDRs and slipstreamimg winXP service packs etc... i use dvd apps for dvd so to speak as they were made from start for the job! nero was cd's to start with!
Ok I am trying Anchorman again but with the process you suggested and I will be back later to tell whether it worked or not. Thanks
hi anchorman? never heard of that app... i said use just dvd decrypter to rip and burn! read iso then write iso = easy...
Hey Rotary Opinion: Like the movie title says... It might have been better if someone would have tied that Movie to an anchor and sent it deep into the ocean. <G>
Thanks Rotary, but I have to admit, yours came out the best. I never told you that in one of the testing threads, someone was using your gif, and I believe Nepilium told him that you might not be happy about it. This was way before I personalized them to help curve that possibility and also the reason I started it. Plus that fact that I don’t have a life, (looking over my shoulder to see if wife is seeing what I type,) and I enjoy the heck out of doing it!!! What a great excuse huh?? <G>
hi no problem with the guy useing my picture thats fine with me! i got it from the net myself, but its good now its got the name on! and i know what you mean about the wife looking at typing! hehehe...
Hello everyone. Rotary Your method worked but for some reason my personel exspensive DVD player iT does not like it but it worked on the computer and my cheap DVD player, so I am very happy and grateful for your help. Sorry for not explaining Anchorman was a movie. Thanks
hi yup its not the disc or burn its the player! my brother in law bought a well expensive very nice standalone and it wont play anything but originals! but i bought 3 real real cheapo dvd players and it plays anything i chuck at it! but glad you got the burning sorted!
Yea its an old Sony DV-S7700 but was the top on the line a few years ago and has never let me down till now. I bought this cheap player off ebay that plays both region 1 and 2 and it works on that one, don't figure....LOL Thank you again
hi there not sure here? but you may be able to make it play? if you can get it into nero it has different settings for UDF file system and a setting to force compatibility on XBOX consoles...here take a look! i know this setting works its how i used to burn my dvdr's for a long time! this way you will need to waste say 4 discs trying these settings out, but it could work...
