hi everyone. i have read alot on this forum and just recently joined. i credit ya'll with my huge sucess on backing up my dvd's. however, i just tried burning dvd+r dl with bad results. i have a liteon 1673s, burned using decrypter according to the guide from this forum. all 3 burns turned out the same,dirty disc on one dvd player,disc error on the other player, played in the pc but no sound. all my stand alones are multiformat. i used verbatim dl at 4x.this forum has been extremely helpful in the past, hope you can help me now, thanks mclmn
Here's some suggestions: Make sure your firmware is up to date on your drive - the latest is JSOD. You can check this in dvd decrypter - go to tools>drive>check for firmware updates. I would slow it down to 2x or 2.4x and see if that helps. Your drive supports booktyping so download the liteon booktype utility and booktype the discs to dvd-rom making them almost universally compatible. http://liteonamericas.com/us/download_utility.htm Or you may be able to booktype this drive in decrypter - when in iso write mode on the far right bottom you'll see what looks like a book - click that on to change or go to tools>drive>booktype.
hi Illusenia, thanks for the advice on my problem. i've had trouble getting back online since i posted the question but now have that resolved. i went to the link you provided and downloaded the utility,i also just bought some more dl disc and will try again this weekend. i will be slowing it down like you suggested. just one thing about the booktype utility, this may be doumb but does it need to be installed somewhere or do i just open it and make the changes to dvd-rom. its currently on my desktop. once again thanks for your help. mclmn
Yes, the above suggestion will work. I have the same drive. I have no DL issues whatsoever. Firmware upgrade coupled with booktyping will help immensely.
hi again. i bought some more verbatim +r dl over the weekend. i got the latest firmware upgrade and have had no luck. i burned 2 disc and both were identical, the booktype was dvd+r dl. before i burned them i went in decrypter and changed the setting in the booktype window. i clicked on liteon which is my drive, in the box change for i selected dvr+r/+r dl. then under new setting i selected dvd-rom and then clicked change at which time a window opened that said success. then clicked ok. after i burned the dvd i then noticed its profile said its booktype was dvd+r dl. i cant seem to burn a dvd rom. i downloaded the liteon booktype utility to my desktop and changed the booktype there but get the same results. i dont know if this means anything, but i cant get any sound out of dvd's in windows media player, video is fine and cd's play fine. someone please tell me if im setting things up wrong or i have other problems. i can burn single layer just fine. thanks for any help mclmn
