DVD-9 - Dual layer

Hi People,
I just bought myself a dual layer burner and want to back up my DVD-9 movies, and suggestions to what software would give the best results, I have read on the site that CCe gives the best recode, but have only seen a tutorial associating it with DVDrebuiler s/w, any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi
dvddecrypter or imageburn , both free
they handle the layer break better than any other
straight foreward iso read/ iso write
with dvd43 in the back ground

 

Hi gurnard,
thanks for that, I use Anydvd would that be OK?

 

CCE is not needed(i think)because with the d/l disc your doing a straight up 1 to 1 copy. DvdDecrypter-Mode read iso then pick the mds file it contains the layer break info. DvdD and AnyDvd make a great couple.

 

hi
yep as bigt1 say's anydvd is fine

 

Hi,
Thanks peeps, got my d/l dvd-r's on order, will let you know how I get on when I do my first one.
regards psxnut

 

hi
just one thought
is your drive capable of writing to a D/L -R
mine can only write to a +r

 

Pioneer dvr-111D

Pioneer DVD+-R/RW Dual Layer 16x IDE Beige

 

hi
seems to support D/L-R ok
have fun

 

Great!
Ripped "Bourne Supremacy" as an iso last night with no probs,just waiting for my d/l disks to arrive. -r's always seem to play better for me on more players.
regards psxnut.

 

hmmm...

actually, that would hold true for SINGLE LAYER dvd-r media, however, you are in a completely different ballpark when you go into DUAL LAYER/ DL media~

i am hoping for YOUR sake that the dvd-r DL discs will be compatible with your standalones, when people go to DL, MOST go with the dvd+r DL and booktype them to dvd-rom for best compatibility~

i'm not familiar with your particular model of Pioneer burner as it's fairly new, i hope you are using the 1.06 firmware for it regardless, i also don't know what this firmware incorporates, do you know if this firmware automatically booktypes dvd+r/dvd+r DL to dvd-rom? (this was true with the Pioneer dvr-110D, but i don't know about the dvr-111D)

and all the older Pioneer burners do NOT have the booktyping option UNLESS you used modified/hacked firmware to enable it~ i know as i have a Pioneer dvr-109 with Buffalo firmware for booktyping~

juss curious and wishing you the best of luck with your dvd-r DLs when you receive them...as to compatibility, guess you will find out soon enough once they arrive~

docTY~

 

Thanks,
I will keep you posted on my results, only ordered 5 dvd-r's so if they don't work then I can always use them for data.

hi
me bad, (slap on wrist) forgot to say that i use +r as well. as the DOC has said, i think that nearly all of us use +r booktyped -rom now adays, as experience has shown us that's the way to go

 

By the way, the firmware of the Pioneer 111 is 1.02

 

Hi again,
Got my DVD-R's this morning, tried a test write of my iso with dvddecrypter at 4X and I got a stall at 6.6 gigs, PC hung and would not shut down anydvd, so I did a hard restart, tried again at maximum write test went all OK, so tried anothe rtest at 4X again, PC hung again at 1 gig. Had to do a hard restart again. I think my copy of anydvd version 2.0.0.4 might be at fault. Where can I download dvd43 from now it has been removed from afterdawn. and does anyone have anymore ideas of my problem.
thanks in advance.

@ psxnut hi
if you have it on your HDD as suggested, it will have nothing to do with anydvd because it has already been decoded.
it sounds more like a lack of free memory (ram)or a lack of HDD space.
you'll need at least 256mb of free memory and about 16gb of HDD space
also try burning at 2.4x

 

How do I know which file is the MDS. The process created 2 files in my target.

 

hi
the mds is usually the smallest. 5kb

 

Thanks for replying,
I have 1256mb ram and 250 gig sata hard drive, I gave up on that movie last night and put it down to the write protection on bourne supremacy. I did star wars, revenge of the sith. Burned first try on D/L dvd-r and plays on all my players in the house (Liteon dvd/hard drive recorder, pioneer dvd, nextbase hand held, a chinese thing in the bedroom, PS2, will try my car dvd later). Yes i agree that it was not anydvd or dvd43, however when I had them enabled bourne would not do a test burn at set speed 4x only when i set it to burn at maximum would it test burn the whole disk, I don't like being beaten so I did a file extraction of bourne and burned just the movie files with clonedvd2 to a dvd5, burned with no problems.
Hope this helps others and thanks for the help.
