Trying to backup my Navigation DVD for my Honda vehicle.... I have a Plextor PX-716A drive, Dual Format, etc. Successfully burned an image of this disc with Alchohol 120%, but it is 7539.35MB. No copy protection or anything on the disc. What type of media does this go on? DVD-R DL? DVD+R DL? Once I figure this out, I'll try it. HELP! Bozz5384
According this link, It does both plus and dash for dl media at 6x: http://www.plextor.com/english/products/716A.htm The majority of the dl media locally I have seen is plus format.
Yes either will work if you booktype the plus R to DVD-ROM that makes it the most compatable with most standalone players
them DL discs are bit pricey.. i just saw a 10 pack at best buy for like $60.. but i guess in this case you will need it. just get a three pack... those are about 20
Best Buy has a special sale for Verbs DL +R (10 for $40.00) Good deal. I use them and have purchased them from Wal-Mart...Excellent...not a glitch! MovieDud
i've learned my lesson with cheap media.. i only use verbs.. i may need to get some more blanks soon.. i may get some more from that supermedia site.. call up a friend.. you know.. to make the shipping worth it.. i still have about 40-45 blank memorex dvds.. anybody want em? you just gotta pay for shipment.. dont care loosing the money i spent on them
using them as actual coasters.. you know.. my sis does have this thing for coasters.. inside joke.. tell her its the newest little known fad in hollywood.. lol
Thanks for all the advice, being a newbie though -- I am not sure how to "book type" it??? I have been using Alcohol 120% for my media burning needs, is this what I should be using - or use DVD Decryptor? Any the help is appreciated, I'd really like to get this done so it works! Bozz5384 P.S. - Is there any program that will look at a DISC and tell you EXACTLY what media type it is written on? DVD-R, DVD+R, etc.?
