Can't read dual layer discs

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Have been using K3B successfully for quite some time but have tried something new which doesn't seem to work.

Using openSuSE 10.2 and now installed DeVeDe to burn two different types of discs from some .avi files.

1.  One .avi file is prepared via DeVeDe, then burned as a video CD which plays nicely in standalone DVD player.

2.  Multiple .avi files are prepared as an .iso file via DeVeDe, and burned to an 8.5Gb DVD+R DL as a video DVD.
The burner is a decent Sony burner, capable for Dual Layer.  I use Verbatim discs.  And am ensuring to select the correct disc size in K3B and to hopefully aid in making sure the disc burn was good, I set the speed down to 2.5x.  
The burning process seems to be completed perfectly, no errors and the disc ejects.
At that point it will not mount.  It is not readable in the burner, in a standalone DVD player or any other manner.  Everything reports "no disc loaded".

Any ideas what I can be doing wrong?

You haven't inadvertently checked "create image only" in the writing
tab of the burn dialog, perhaps?

Thanks for the reply Brad.  I don't THINK so, but I couldn't swear that I didn't.
I'd have to reburn another copy to be sure.
I'm hoping for another suggestion before I make another $2.50 coaster...
And I'm moving this week too so I'll have to tear everything down and reassemble in the new house over the next few days.
Thanks for the idea.

Not necessarily;  Drag a couple of things to a DVD project, then select
Burn, and check all the options in all the tabs.  If "create image
only" is checked, you know where the mistake lies.  If not, then yes,
you'll probably have to try another burn.

Look for cheaper disks?   :-)

Seriously, IKWYM.  I'd be reluctant, too.

Good luck with the move.

Thanks Brad, kind of you to wish us well on the move.  It's been a bit of a pain but we're in...
Just got the PC all set back-up and connected to a new ISP so I can get back to trying to t/s this problem.

I did the check as suggested and it was NOT enabled for image only.  Good news/bad news...

On a side note I have to ask... if a standalone DVD player is 2 years old for instance, will it play the dual-layer discs?
I'm thinking it should.  Aren't many of the movies we rent actually dual layer media?  I've seen a lot of rentals that have not only a 4:3 ratio version of the movie but also the 16:9 ratio version.  Doesn't that much data require a dual-layer disc?
In any case the disc I burned should actually have worked in my PC DVD burner, but it wasn't recognized there either.  So I'm still left to test by trying to burn another I suppose.... I'm thinking this time I'll try another .iso which is equally large ... just in case there was something wrong with the original .iso copy I burned.

I'll post back those results.
If anyone has any new ideas....
Thanks!

I know how stressful it is;  We moved not that long ago.  Two children
under, both under five years old, makes it even more stressful.

Good; The important stuff first.   :-)

Well, there goes the easy option.   :-(

Probably, but I wouldn't like to give odds on it.

I think so, yes.

TBH, I don't really follow the technology closely enough to be sure,
but I /think/ domestic players have always been capable of reading dual
layer disks.  However, it's only recently that the writing technology
has become cheap enough for the "average Joe".

I've not noticed both aspect ratios on one disk.

Depends on how it's achieved;  One could be a simple crop of the other,
which could be done in software, and not need a second data stream.

> I'll post back those results.

It's always good to find out what the problem was.  Too often I see a
post on lists saying "Got a problem with XYZ", then comes a follow up
"Never mind, got it sorted" but they don't say what the issue was.  No
help to anyone else.   :-(

ATM, I think it's just you, me and Marc in here.
