Hi arniebear, Have you seen any of DL rewritable disk available in the market yet? If it is available then it may be beneficiary to the newbie to reuse it if any reason the disk not come up right in the early learning stage. Thanks Anthony
I do not believe it is available as of yet, but I know that it is coming sometime this year. The only article I have seen is on JVC having it, but do not know how long it will be before it is available in the States. They get a lot of stuff overseas that you cannot get here. Would love to get my hands on some Plextor media, it is supposed to be fantastic, but it is not available here that I can find. http://www.jvc.com/press/index.jsp?item=489&pageID=1
Thanks arnie, You are really keeping us with this kind of technology. Hope to see these DL rewritable soon in the US market. Regards Anthony
Hi arniebear, question just came up. For dl burning If I use dvd fab to rip the Sony disk, then use shrink (change to dvd9) then use the Imgburn to write, how much giga bite do I need to do it? TIA Anthony
Minimum of 15g and that is conservative. If you are doing a movie that does not have the newer protection then you can still use Decrypter to rip in iso mode and then just do and iso write with Decrypter or ImgBurn. In fact you might still try Decrypter in iso read mode it may work, I have used this method for some ARccOS movies as long as they do not have puppetlock on them. Used it for Dark Waters and Decrypter did rip in iso mode fine.
@arniebear I too tried Decrypter in ISO read and Write Mode to do Dual Layer 1:1 Backup of Potter and Goblet of Fire. It froze at the layer break. It was my 1st attempt with decrypter. Yesterday I used Copy DVD Nero Express on the fly and the copy passed the layer break with no problems, gonna watch disc tonite.
@garmoon Good to hear your backup worked with Nero, I did not get a good backup the two times I used the program, but I did not use Express. I have had good results with Decrypter, ImgBurn, CopytoDVD and Blindwrite by VSO, and CloneDVD doing dual layers.
@arniebear The Nero copy plays perfectly on Pc and stand alone Daewo, and Toshiba DVD players. The Toshiba combo TV and DVD player won't recognize the disc. It's the newest player of the bunch. It's aDL DVD+R. It has no problem with 4.7G DVD+R discs. All booktyped to DVD-ROM.
@garmoon Some players even though they maybe newer just do not like dl media. I have several players and my older Apex won't play them although it plays everything else, my older Toshiba which only plays -R and is picky will play them perfectly. My newer cheapo Cyberhome plays them fine, so does my newer Panasonic DVD-R. I had bought a new Sanyo and it would freeze up immediately and skip returned it and got a Sony and had no problems. It is hit and miss.
