Hi Everyone,
I have been using DVDSHRINK for a couple of years and would like to get a dual layer dvd burner. I would like to know if DVDSHRINK will burn to dual layer dvd's, if not do you know of a good program that does.
Hi mickeyd65
Shrink doesn't have it own burn engine - uses Nero's.
So yes you can do dual layer - just change the target size.
In Shrink go to edit>preferences and change it to DVD-9.
Another good one that's free is ImgBurn. if you want to autoburn w/ Shrink & ImgBurn download & install this tweak for Shrink.
Then just pick that option under select back target in Shrink.
I noticed the title of the thread refers to DVD-R DLs, suggesting the dash format. You don't want to mess with DVD-R DL discs, also called "Dual Layer". DVD-R DLs, unlike regular, single-layer, 4.7 Gb DVD-Rs, DL DVD-Rs are not well-supported, and have some technical limitations. DVD+R DLs are much better and more compatible.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
