From a pack of 25 Dual Layer (dvd+r DL)I have 2 discs that when I put them in, imgburn read it as only having around 4gb rather than 8gb.
Heres the info that shows on the imgburn panel

HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H44N RB01 (ATA)

-> RS: 9,168 KB/s (6.8x) - WS: 5,540 KB/s (4x)
Descriptor 2...
-> B0: 0x02, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00
-> EL: 2298495 (0x0023127F)
-> RS: 9,168 KB/s (6.8x) - WS: 11,080 KB/s (8x)

Why is it doing this? Its a pack of 25 DLs, no scratches etc, and every disc thus far ahs burned successfully, never had a coaster.

How can I get imgburn to read these 2 discs properly?

And if not is it worth burning anyway? (An error msg appears when I click the burn button saying "not enough space on disc, burn anyway"?

Weird, might be that those two disc are bad or not double pressed/not DL. Have any other DL discs to try?

yes I have 3 remaining, 1 reads at 8gb the other 2 read as a dud 4gb. Bit annoyed, must just be 2 bad discs!
Im just going to see what img burn does when I ask it to write regardless. WIll I end up with half a game?

That probably won't work with half a game because the xbox checks layer 1 and 2 to verify the disc.
