Sup guys. I have been trying to test some media a relative bought using dvd identifier. It completes the task without errors, but there is a weird *WARNING* ,all in red, toward the end of the log. I was hoping someone could explaing what this means:


[08:31:07] DVD Identifier V4.3.0
[08:31:07] Initializing Drive Interface [Auto-Select ASPI/SPTI]
[08:31:07] SPTI Drive Interface Successfully Initialized
[08:31:08] 1 Supported Drive Found (Out Of 2 Available Drives)
[08:31:08] Manufacturer Database [18-FEB-06@660$88] Loaded From File : (@660$88) Entries Found
[08:31:08] Internet Version Check Postponed Since Last Check Happened Less Than 1 Hour Ago
[08:31:10] DVD-R/-RW Medium Detected. Starting Identification...
[08:31:10] ** Initiating LPP Retrieval
[08:31:12] WARNING : DVD-R Dual Layer Detection Is Not Supported By This Drive (No CDZ Read)
[08:31:12] LPP Read Completed Without Errors
[08:31:12] Disc Identification Completed Successfully


PS I have a dual layer LG burner GSA-4120B with the latest firmware (unless something newer has come out in the last 30days). Thanks.

This drive only supports DVD+R DL discs, not the -R flavored ones, that is why you are recieving an error.

Supported Media Writing Standards CD-R ? CD-RW ? DVD-R ? DVD+R ? DVD+RW ? DVD-RAM ? DVD+R DL (Double Layer) ? DVD-RW

that really sucks. i guess when double layer dvds are in my price range that will be something i will have to remedy. thanks.

kk. does anyone know if dvd identifier is really that dependable at detecting supported formats? I went and got a new dl-dvd burner cause my old one didn't support DVD-R DL discs. I bought a lg GSA-H10N which I was lead to believe burned DVD-R DL discs. When I run dvd identifier I get the same error I got with my old burner:


[10:35:42] DVD Identifier V4.3.0
[10:35:42] Initializing Drive Interface [Auto-Select ASPI/SPTI]
[10:35:42] SPTI Drive Interface Successfully Initialized

[10:35:42] Internet Version Check Postponed Since Last Check Happened Less Than 1 Hour Ago
[10:35:43] DVD-R/-RW Medium Detected. Starting Identification...
[10:35:43] ** Initiating LPP Retrieval

[10:35:45] LPP Read Completed Without Errors
[10:35:45] Disc Identification Completed Successfully



The odd thing is that when I look up my new burner on the net this is what I find:

In addition to the 12x DVD-RAM write speed, this unit features write speeds of 16x for both DVD+R and DVD-R, write speeds of DVD+RW to 8x, DVD-RW to 6x, DVD+R DL at 10x and DVD-R DL at 8x. Any feedback? I was about to contact my local retailer and tear a strip outta them, but I wanted to do some investigating first. thanks.

Looks like it will only actually accept 6X-R DL media...

Whereas your old burner had no -R DL support.

Is your firmware up to date for the new drive?

thanks for the quick responce. I updated the firmware to latest jj11, but still same result. I've phoned my local retailer and they assure me it will burn DVD-R DL, so i guess i'm off to buy a 5 pack this afternoon. I would have thought dvd identifier would have said supports 6x DVD-R DL, and not DVD-R Dual Layer Detection Is Not Supported By This Drive but we'll see. thanks again.

** INFO : Write Capabilities = DVD+R DVD+R-DL DVD+RW
** INFO : Write Capabilities = DVD-R DVD-R-DL DVD-RW DVD-RAM
