Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

Yesterday i burned two DVD DL with same movie and they are not readable by my DVD Home player.
I saw that autostrategy is not working for DVD DL, why ??
I've installed Plextools pro xl v3.13 it same.
I've burned with power rec and it selected the 6x speed.

Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

If they are not readable at all, there might be compatibility issues with your stand-alone player. Did you enable bitsetting?

Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

No, i didn't.
I've installed as-strike software.
It scans the dvd DL +R Verbatim and find it doesn't support thie media.
Why not ?

Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

Verbatim +R DL (2.4x "MKM 001" or 8x "MKM 003") are supported by the drive and work very well.

AutoStrategy does not support any DL media. Nobody knows "why", but that's just how it is. AS has no influence on Video-compatibility.

Some home-players don't know how to handle burned media, only pressed ones. Check if this is the case. If it can handle burned media, try setting the booktype from "DVD +R DL" to "DVD ROM DL". Also try using slower burn speeds (4x). I've seen verbatim DL media look fine in quality scans on pc but fail to play in standalones at the same time (expecially the second layer).

Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

it's crazy.
i'm using MKM 003 and i've burned some movie with success.
But now my 4 last burn are not readable by the dvd player.
I've set up the bitsetting on.
i've selected the 8x speed but the burn was made at 6x only.
I've upgrade the plextools pro version from v2.33 to v2.36.
I don't understand anything now.
I got success in the past but i can't do it again.
What should i do ?

I see no one has really answered your original question.............

I have never used PlexTools to burn a DL Verbie. I am more prone to use ImgBurn in Build mode then use Burn mode with layer break info (.mds) set as good as i can get it with the options in ImgBurn. ImgBurn is free.

If it's a copy protected DVD i own that i am backing up i use AnyDVD to take out the protection.

Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

If you set in PlexTools it should stay that way or set it in ImgBurn.

Re: Plextools Pro User Guide

The burn is done.
Both my DVD player and the DVD burner are able to read this IMGBURN built.
I will run a dvdinfopro scan tonight to check quality.
