Remove all discs from drives.
Open DVD Decrypter.
From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Read'.
Put DVD-9 disc in drive.
Take note of the 'Destination' file name.
Click the big 'Decrypt' button.
Take the DVD-9 disc out of the drive.
From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Write'.
Put a blank double layer disc in your DVD Writer.
Click the little folder icon - 'Browse for source file' - and select the MDS file created for you as part of the steps above.
Click the big 'Write' button.
Finished!
Note: If your drive supports booktype / bit setting, remember to tell it to burn DVD+R DL discs as DVDROM. This will make them more compatible with players. The booktype / bit setting utility is accessed by clicking on the little 'book' icon when in ISO Write mode.
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

Hi tsatsos00, welcome to aD,
You can use DVD Shrink. Download and install it, go to Edit - Preferfences and in the Preferences tab use the drop-down menu to change the DVD Target size to DVD-9. Click OK THEN use "Open Files" to browse for the folder where your files are. Allow Shrink to anaylize the files then click "Backup", select your DVD burner in "Backup Target" and select a place on your HD for Shrink to use as a temporary work space, Click OK and you're done. :D)
Cheers,
Pete
There we go yet once again - typing too slowly - (Lol)

When buying the Dual-layer discs here the best price I got was
5 - Dual-layer discs (RiData)
1 - DVD+RW disc
For $24.99 PLUS $6.00 shipping (USD)
approx $6.00 each cause they stuck me for the shipping

Shrink will also open ISO files. Since you ripped in File mode (created a video_ts file) you can use Nero or CopyToDVD to burn to a dual layer dvd.

hi
if you are doing more dvd9 dvds then just use dvd dcecrypter to rip and burn one app done! but use the mds file as it contains the layer break info from the original structure of the dvd9

scubapete..so in euros the dvds you bought are cheaper since the euro is stronger than $!!by way the dvd disc i bought was made by platinum at 2.4x(the maximum speed i have found up to now)!--unfortunately despite yr help and my effort as well as cash, the movie i tried to bckup with DVD Shrink brought up an error at 97%!!i did not understand though! i use NEC ND-3520A...what do u think about this writter?oh and something else...do double layer dvds play in home cinema equipment(the reason i ask is because most players claim to read DVD+-RW...but dbllayer?)

If this happens during reading then try another disc If during burning, use CD Checker to be sure the files aren't corrupt (it could have happened during the ripping phase). I can only suggest setting the write speed to 2.4 X because during the first layer of writing it may have gone too fast. Recheck your ASPI Layer, Firmware and defrag all drives. Lastly, run a laser-cleaning disc through your drive.
Quote: I use NEC ND-3520A...what do u think about this writter?
As all of these drives have been out for less than a year, it's hard to tell over the long run BUT to date there have been no bad reports.
Quote: do double layer dvds play in home cinema equipment
Yes ! All professional DVD's are dual-layer so these should play just fine. A RW disc is a very different matter -

Though a decent company makes your discs, they are using the cheapest dye/app available.
Translation, you need an upgrade in media, as yours doesn't appear to meet the quality standards necessary for our type of video work.
Offerer: Platinum
Manufacturer: Ricoh company Limited
Dye type: Unknown When companies use a decent quality dye they "brag" about it. Listed as "Unknown" generally indicates that the dye changes often based upon the cheapest price.
Version:
Think of these as another "Memorex" using a different name :(
For the best DL discs, youi cannot beat Verbatims.
Cheers,
Pete

Problem, again!!!...after 2 or 3 months...i tried to copy another movie in a double layer dvd...but the recording was very bad!!first of all you cannot see the subtitles picture(but only the picture that starts at the beginning menu...however you can see the first picture and a long selection line going up or down but you cannot see what subtitles u r selecting!!! that also happens for the special features i can see the frame....without anything in it!)AND besides that at the 40'minute...the chapter changes to the next!!!!!!!!!!! I used Decrypter to store the movie in iso in my hard drive ..and then i used DVD Shrink to burn it. I did read yr messages saying that i should use a more expensive dvd and i bought a TDK DL for like 8 euros!!!!!!!!! so pls help me ..what is going on?is it normal to get this chapter change while the movie moves to the next layer???

tsatsos00,
ScubaPete gave you good advice in that you should Use Verbatim dual layer blank media. When I do a dual/layer movie I use Verbatim and only use DVDDecrypter in Mode>.iso read Mode> .iso write. DVDD seems to be able to find the layer break better than Shrink. (IMHO). I have no idea where you can get D/L disks at in the country you reside. Here in the US we usually use the internet and purchase them from Mediasuperstore, Newegg, Rima, Meritline. All of them are reputable

ok..i have come back with more news... I bought Verbatim DL DVD disks and i burned a movie with Decrypter from iso....and it actually worked ..there was no mess up while it changed layers!! However i have another question: i have backed up one more movie in my hard drive but not as iso!! Soo how can i use decrypter in that case?! ( you see...the previous times i used Shrink...but either shrink or the Dvd disks i had bought were not getting me good results; thus, since decrypter worked for me once i want to use it more often that s why i am asking!! in short i am not sure whether the problem was the disks or the burning software.. )

A Friendly warning:
Though the newer DL discs have a higher speed, 6X and up, I caution you to stick with the 4X burn speed limit. Though coasters caused by speed are rare, I've had 1 out of 60, more or less BUT they can still happen. I've burned so many DVD's, I've lost count and yes, I've jacked up my speed from time to time thinking that with better media and better burners, my newest being a BenQ1625, that I could get away with it. I've found no problem burning at 6X with TY +R 8X discs BUT I've had one or two issues even with Verbatims. To eliminate all chance of coasters, burn at 4X AND when using single-sided, reduce your DVD Target Size to 4360MB so you don't push your writing to the disc's outer edge where the 'Dye Fairy" steals little pieces of dye leaving the recording surface uneven.
Cheers,
Pete

How do i use Shrink to convert the files to iso...because in the preference tabs I can not see a choice to save the movie to an iso...or does it "back it up" to iso by default??! ..and then, i should press backup?..what about the point when it reaches the burning process?!
