Didn't know where to put this post since I don't see anything for Dual Layer dvds..

So, I bought Memorex DVD DLs (50pk since it was only $35) And Ive never had any big problems with the Memorex DVD5 in the past. But the DVD+DLs don't want to burn on the second layer. So I bought verbatims, and those worked out fine.

But I still have alot of Memorex DVD+DL's left, and I want to know how I can burn on JUST the first layer? I remember a few times, Imgburn asked me if I wanted to burn on just the first layer, and I did it and it worked fine. But I can't get that message anymore.. Does anyone know of any way that I can burn using just the first layer? Because I don't want to just throw out 40 DVD+L's.

you might be able to take the memorex DVD+R DL back and get you money back?.

only thing i know is to compress the file so you wouldn't need the second layer. set the target in dvd shrink about 4200

It still burns it on the second layer, even if I try to make it act like a regular DVD+R.. Any more suggestions?

(btw cant get my money back since I bought it online, and alrdy used up like 15 or so making coasters)

DL discs will always be recorded on both layers with equal amounts of data on each layer. That is their design. Even if you recorded pm;u 200 MB of information, 100MB would be on the outer layer and 100MB on the inner layer.

When I burned with Imgburn, like 2 times It gave me a message that said something like. You don't need to use the 2nd layer for this burn, would you like to record on just the first layer? And I said yes and it recorded fine. But I havent gotten that message again. So.. Your wrong, Im just trying to figure out how I can get that message again, or if theres a way to do this with another program..

The software you used recorded the information on the outer layer and then wrote dummy information of equal size on the inner layer. That's how you were able to "write to just one layer." Your program or data was stored before the layer break so that you did not risk the disc's freezing up at the transition.

Cool, thanks for the information. Do you know of any ways that this can be done again?
