Hello,
Please excuse this if it is in the wrong place. I have a pioneer dvr 111d with firmware revision 1.23. I have Ulead Movie factory 3.5 installed & use it for burning dvds. I rarely burn dual layer discs, but when i first got this burner I tried a few just to make sure the feature worked. I successfully burned copies of 2 unencrypted stamped dual-layers. That was a while back, Now i'm attempting to burn a dual layer dvd that i have authored myself using tmpgenc dvd author. The media i'm using is memorex dvd+r 2.4x "double layer" which is the same brand that i used initially. The burn is successful & ulead's dvd player instantly recognizes the disc & plays it, but the disc will not play in my pioneer stand alone player or my ps2. I burned it as a UDF/ISO 9660 formatted data dvd (which is the setting i have to use to make single layer copies that work in my stand alones) Is there another setting i have to burn these at? It's been so long I can't remember what settings worked before. Or is the problem that this is a dvd that i've authored myself? any help is appreciated, i've already tried burning the disc twice.

Same batch?
yup, bought 2 3-packs at the same time first pack burned great with
back-ups of gladiator, titanic & incredibles, this next batch will read in my computer only. Only difference is that this time i am burning a self-authored project which i am wondering if that is the problem. Do i need to set some kind of marker or flag for a proper layer transition?
My stand alone pioneer attempts to read them, then it says "incompatible disc"

You didn't say if you used ImgBurn (which I leave at it's default settings), it will offer a few places to put the layer break. In my experience that only affects where the pause will be.
Open your self-authored project files in DVDShrink first, simply as a test to see if it accepts them. It's pretty picky about structure.
I've used Memorex/Ritek DL discs with some success. The burns play in my older JVC, 2 Philips, a newer Sony and a newer Magnavox. But they will not play in my older Pioneer standalone recorder. When I had video stores the ps2's were a constant source of headaches, they could barely play pressed discs reliably.
