Hi, I am new to the site and new to burn dvd ,I have no problem burning dvds but the double layer dvd+r, so I would like to know if I can burn double layer dvd with an HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040B firmware A112, if yes how to do it,or if there is some update. Thanks for your help.
hi go to dvd decrypter website and read guides there! it has an easy to use tute for you... basically remember to use the .MDS file it creates as it holds all the dual layer break info
hi I forgot to tell you that I have anydvd,clonedvd2 on my system and when I want to burn on dvd dl +r ,I get this message insert a blank dvd etc... seems that HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040B firmware A112. does not read it,how to ix that.Thanks for your help.
guelmi, I tried to research that drive and got conflicting information on the DL writing. Some places say it can burn DL. At Videohelp.com they have the DL discs crossed off the list. At this point I'm not sure you can use DL blanks or not. That drive doesn't get very good reviews on burning. Type the model in a google search and see what comes up. Jerry
thanks ,guys, well now if I can't burn a dvd dl +r with HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040B firmware A112,how I can burn a dvd+/-r with more than 3hrs and if I can't what would be the best for me(buy???)or what else.thanks again
guelmi, Most people here 98% are only copying there movies to single layer DVD5 disks. Check out the link in my signature and use the first guide at my website this will show you exactly how to backup your DVD's..
ok,thanks using the 1st link I tried to back it up it with anydvd/clonedvd2 and I get this message that I don't have enough space on the blank dvd ,detail: writedvd 14w2??/ what's that.thanks again
thanks again guys for your help,thanks to bbmayo I could burn with no problem at all, real easy to do it,thanks again,like french people would say ,merci beaucoup??
Hi Guelmi, You have the LG-4040B ? That drive is a 4x MAX DVD Writer, and NO, it will not support Dual Layer. You have firmware A112 ? If it is the LG-4040B, latest firmware is A304, this is why when I saw A112 firmware, I was not sure if you do have the LG-4040B !
In order for you to burn/rip any DVD+R Double Layer(DL), you must have a Dual Layer DVD Burner/ReWritable at hand. The Sony and Plextor are pretty much capable of doing it. I've got the Sony and have been burning DL lately and loving it due to the fact that it will simply shoot it straight into your burner without reading the files first. This is much faster and plus you'll get the same quality as the original dvd. Hope this help.
