I recently bought a DVR-111D which is advertised as being compatible with DVD-R Dual Layered Disc. However, when I checked capabilities in DVD Decrypter it says it doesn't support it. I haven't tryed burning a DL disc yet as I just ordered them. Can someone confirm that the DVR-111D does or does not support DVD-R DL.
I'm not sure about v9, but it depends how you boot your backups as well.
I don't think Swap Magic works so you have to rebuild the game.
If you have a DMS4 Pro chip they work not sure about other chips.
If you do have another chip you can try patching the image with Toxic Patcher.
The 111D *SHOULD* write to -R DLs. It's possible that DD is misreporting it. Have you tried Nero Infotool? It's equally possible that your particular drive firmware doesn't support Dual-Layer -Rs, only Double-Layer +Rs. You can flash your drive to a 111L which will also give you bitsetting of +R single-layer discs, and probably supports -R DL.
BTW, the 111L firmware might also give you DVD-RAM support too. I'm not sure about it, but some of the 111 firmwares do support DVD-RAM, some don't.
-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.

You are talking about hacked firmware. The only way to find out if the burner is supposed to support DVD-R DL media is to go to the Pioneer website. I don't think that that model did, but can't remember for sure.
