DVD Dual Layer - R !

Tysonator · 30-07-2007, 20:04

Hi every one,

can some one please tell me which BYRNING software supports DVD DL-R ?
I currently use Nero 6 Reloaded which only supports DVD DL+R, and my neighbour has Nero7 which also supports the same format.

So I need to get a BURNing application that supports DVD DL-R BURNing.

Cheers

You sure your drive supports it? A lot of drives only supported one DL format (usually DVD+R DL IIRC).

Yep, the LG optical drive I use supports both DL + & -R, also it supports DVD RAM.
One of the main reasons I purchase the optical drive was because it supported DL-R

Supports DVD-R Dual Layer format and DVD+R Double Layer

Which model is your LG drive?

DVD±RW (+R DL) / DVD-RAM drive - Internal - IDE - Read speed: 40x (CD) / 16x (DVD) - Write speed: 40x (CD) / 16x (DVD±R) / 2.4x (DVD+R DL) - Rewrite speed: 24x (CD) / 4x (DVD±RW) / 5x (DVD-RAM)

Looks like the drive only supports +R DL, not -R

Given the price of them these days, this seems like the easiest option. Throwaway society eh?

I'm loving the Samsung ones I bought, they got very good reviews.

IDE is the SH-S182M
SATA is the SH-S183L

Trying to find the detailed reviews of them that I used when I was buying..
