DVD DL Disc and Burning

jkerry wrote on 5/23/2011, 12:38 PM

I have 2 videos each approx 1 hr. 30 mins.

I have rendered them in the DVD format with Vegas 10 Pro but when I try to burn one at a time on the DL disc. Arch prompts me to insert 2 different markers. I place them where it says and try to burn again. But it either pops up with wanting to place the markers again in the same time slot or it it does burn will not work on 4 different players.

Any advise as to how to solve this problem.

Use DVDA to render the files to your hard drive, then use ImgBurn to burn the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders to the disc. To date, I've found that ImgBurn is the only program that will consistently and correctly burn both dual and single layer video DVDs so that they are compatible with most DVD players. Yes, it sucks that you need another program to burn a disc, but on the bright side, ImgBurn is completely free, thus your wallet is no worse for wear. (I've never used DVDA to burn discs, relying instead on ImgBurn every single time. It hasn't let me down yet.)

Are you choosing the layer change chapter, or leaving it to DVDA? Are you using cheap quality discs? Are you burning at Max speed? Any of those will cause problems.

1. The disc are top quality from DiscMakers.

2. DVDA - I set it to promtp me as to where the layer change needs to go and I place them myself.

3. The disc is an 8X but have been burning at 4X .

1. Never heard of them. T-Y and Verbatim are consistently recommended.

2. Let DVDA choose the break point. Otherwise, use ImgBurn.

3. Good choice.

(4) Never deliver a burned DVD-DL to a client or customer (or friend), ever. Playability on various consumer players is a crapshoot. Trust me, I'm a producer.
