Just as the question says..Is It possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to burn a .cdr file to a dual layer dvd using Disk Utility. I got it to work once, but I tried four times. I think that it must be very sensitive or something, because I can't figure out any other factor that affects it.
Has anybody else run into this problem, and if so, what's your solution? I think it may have to do with vibrations of the disk drive or something, but I would be lying if I said I knew that for sure...
This is a pretty basic question. iDVD
I have dual layer DVDs and want to burn the same small movie on both layers, one would be full screen, the other wide screen so the viewer can choose.
Is this possible? Is it just a matter of burning one movie at a time; will the comp recognize which layer is empty after the first burn?
I am trying in vain to burn a dual layer DVD with my new MacBook Pro 15".
It should work..... I tried both the Finder Burner and Toast Titanium 8......
Here are the errors it is giving me :
I bought a movie Bolt, for my son on itunes. I am trying to write this movie to a DVD as we are going on holiday and I want to take it with me. When I go to uDVD it tells met to first go to iMovie, share, media browser. However, when I do that, the options media browser is not available to choose. Last night I was able to write the movie to the DVD by opening iDVD, choosing file, burn to DVD from movie. However, it burned the DVD with sound but no picture. Obvsiouly it is encoded or something but I cannot figure out how to get this right!
We are gonig tomorrow and I need to do this tonight! I am not very computer literate!
i am trying to burn a move in avi format to put on a dvd using iDVD but this it what it says "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window".

Alright, I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for by searching so I figured I'd ask. I think it should be fairly simple.
I have a pair of DVD's that were made a few years back. They contain a couple hours of footage from an event. Too much to put on one single layer DVD so it got split over 2.
What I'd like to do is copy both intact DVDs. But I much prefer now at this time to do this on one dual layer DVD for simplicity. All I have is the two DVD's which have simple menus and the footage. Ideally, I would like to be able to keep everything, and maybe put one simple menu on top to select between part 1 and part 2.
So what are my options? I do have FCS1 and the latest iLife setup. Not much more. I just don't know the best way to set up and burn this project.
I have been searching the net for 2 straight hours now. I cant get my g5 to read dual layer dvd +r disks. Not write but read. My ibook g4 can just fine. My drive is a pioneer dvr-107d. I keep reading about updating the firmware but for the life of me i cant firmware anywhere.
Information:
powermac g5 dual 1.8
Mac OS X (10.4.10)
Thats basically the problem in a nut shell. I can't seem to burn a DVD+R DL, everytime I attempt to do this the system crashes completely and I get the transparent window telling me to restart the system. To me, this feels a lot like the blue screen of death.
Anyone else having a similar problem? Have there been similar problems reported? Its definitely not the discs either, I've tried using Philips and Memorex DVD+R DLs and neither work, however, burning this stuff on Tiger was fine, however I'm not sure if Leopard is to blame because i dont remember if I had burned any DVD+R DLs successfully using Leopard.
I've got a first gen. Mac Pro with a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D.
I have a 1st generation Macbook, and I wanted to know if I can burn dual layer DVDs? Here's the output from System Profiler

Created iDVD with slideshow and music on my 5 yr old MBP.Tried to burn it to a Staples -R DVD disc.It appears to be burning for about 35 minutes, then with one minute left, it stops and ejects the disc.No error message. I saved the file as a Disc Image and was able to view it with the DVD player on my MBP.However, when I went to burn it to the disc, I got this message:"The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."

I have a G5 20" iMac.
I would like to replace the DVD for one that will do Dual Layer burn.
Of course I can pay for an expensive replacement.
I was wondering if any of these cheaper options available would work:
LG GSA-T20N
LiteOn DS-8A1P-21C
Anyone know if they are 100% compatible with the iMac G5 20"?
I am trying to burn a Dual Layer DVD with my new MacBook Pro 15"
i have been using Toast Titanium 10.
( Brand : Memorex DVD +R DL 8x )
It keeps telling me Error after 5 minutes of burning!
What is wrong ?
Here is 2 screen grabs of the Error....... :
I've got a handful of dual layer DVDs of which I'd like 1 copy of each.
To save time I wondered if I could plug my machine to my mate's machine via a network cable, with the original DVD in one mac, a blank in the other, and just hit 'Copy' in Toast?
AFAIK the write machine can only do 8 speed - would the data throughput via the network cable be fast enough for this?
If not, any way of doing it via Firewire?
I am trying to copy a DVDR recorded on a friend's DVD recorder. The disc is a single layer 4.7Gb TDK DVD+R and I'm using Toast Titanium. The problem is that my computer thinks the DVD+R is a dual layer disc. I say the computer rather than Toast because if I open the disc and copy the VIDEO_TS folder to the hard drive it takes up more than 10Gb, which is impressive since the disc it is copied from only has a 4Gb capacity! I have googled this but failed to find a solution.
