I have DVDBackup and DVD2onex. I was wondering if anyone has been able to make a copy of a dvd to a dual layer disk, and have it playback on a home dvd player? I have the Denon 3910, which is only about a year old. In the manual it says that it will work with DVD-R, but I think that all dual layer media is DVD+R. So this would lead me to believe that they will not work?

I was just curious, since I did not think that most home dvd players would except a DVD+R?

Almost all commerical DVD's are produced in a Dual Layer Format and at the moment the only Dual Layer DVD blanks are DVD+R.
After ripping a DVD with DVD Decrypter, I then write the files to a Dual Layer 2.4x DVD+R and it plays just fine in my Stand Alone Sony DVD Player.

Not sure if you got the info you were looking for or not. I use DVD decryptor and COPY 2 DVD with DVD+R DL discs and they play perfectly with my Denon 2910. What I'm after is a way to erase the D/L discs once I have burned a movie. There is a RW logo on the disc, but I'm thinking that the way it creates a DVD movie is in write once mode or something. DVD Decryptor, Copy 2 DVD and Roxio can't erase the discs.

I know that there is not a lot of dual layer dvd media out, but is there one that would be the best to use to burn movies to?

Thanks everyone. Since I am on a Mac, I am a little more limited to the dvd copying software I can use. I currently am using Mactheripper and DVD2OneX. Has anyone used this with dual layer media? Since I will able to fit the whole dvd onto the DL media, do I have to still use DVD2OneX? Could I just burn the Mactheripper files staight to the dvd with Toast?

if its DL media.. you have no reason to use DVD2OneX. that's only when you're wanting to shrink to one 4.7gb disc.. i think they call them dvd5

So then after I use Mactheripper, all I have to do is use toast to burn the dvd? I just want to make sure that I am not making any $5 coasters.

why do u want it on a dl disc anyway.it is a lot cheaper to make copies on a 4.7 disc. if u worry about qulity, then just do movie only when u compress it.
pee cee's are the root to all evil

right macman...
i just normally do just the movie.. i don't care about the extra features and all that.. i barely
have enough time to watch the movie itself let alone spend 20-30 minutes going thru the
specials and trailers and all the extra stuff on them. besides.. once you get rid of that.. the
main movie is just about down to 4.7, or at least close enough to where you don't need to
have large a amount of compression. if i need to shrink i use dvd2OneX to shrink to 4 gb.
dont wanna get too close to the edge.
@speters
is there any special reason you're doing this on DLs?

I don't want to use any compression what so ever. I am using the Denon 3910 with and sdi mod going Iscan HD processor then into a Mits 65813 RPTV. So quality is very important to me. Compression may be fine when your only viewing images on a 36" or smaller set, but once you get up to 65" HDTV, you can see alot more. Alot ov dvds already do not look that good aftert watching alot of HD material. I also plan on moving up to a 100" screen with a front projector within the next year. The last couple of dvd's I looked at, the movie only was over the 4.4g that can be put on to a regular DVD+R.

So then, what's the process to burn to DL disc WITHOUT using toast? Is it MTR, DVD IMAGER then Disk Utilty? If that's the case how well does this method work for layer breaks etc...

if you're ripping full disc thru mtr, then it should "in theory" be burned the exact same way. and yes that process, mtr --> dvd imager --> disk utility.

Hello.
I just saw in this thread that someone has successfully burned a dual layer DVD and played it on a Denon 2910. Could you tell me what brand of blank DVD's you used? I bought a 2910 in November of last year (have not done any firmware upgrade since) and I tried to play a Memorex dual layer DVD on it without success. Couldn't load.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

i havent used them on a denon.. i havent used DL discs yet. but i know i would much rather use verbs. i hear thru the grapevine that some.. not all, memorex DL were made by ridata or some other company that was very good.. i cant remember..
use a search for memorex DL and it should be there

Thanks for your advice. Went out today and bought some Verbatim DL's and the first burn worked just fine on the Denon. Had a second memorex single layer fail tonight so I've lost confidence in them. I'm moving forward with the Verbatim and hopefully they'll do the trick. Keeping my hopes up that these DL disks will get cheaper soon! Cheers
