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!

According this link, It does both plus and dash for dl media at 6x:

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

You can always use your memorex dvds as coasters (if you don't sell them)

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!

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.?
