Re: DVD burning

Since many of my DVD-Rs were not even 1/3 full I just dragged my VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folder into the DVD! HEHE

Re: DVD burning

I dont know how you are Burining DVD but if the client you are using to burn closes the DVD / cd after burining they you cant burn in it any more but if it leave it open so that you can write more data on the rest then you can still write more data...

check the Client configuration...

Re: DVD burning

I guess you're right, it didn't close them! Good thing. :)

Btw, what do you suggest? DVD-R or +R?

Re: DVD burning

I use both… for me no special difference… though I prefer DVD+R

you can read about it here:

Re: DVD burning

But remember whe you will insert CD after burning again many time it will happn that it will be unable to detect the data that will be written after you have to insert it again... and have to chec it..

Re: DVD burning

that's why i'm not buying any till they come up with the RW's.. it's a shameful waste of a dual layer drive if i can't use RW's on it!!

Re: DVD burning

PA, u can't find the RW media? This is still july of 2006, isn't it? I've been using DVD+RW for years. Maybe I'm in the twilight zone today or something.

Re: DVD burning

you're asking the wrong person...
i don't know diddly squat about burners..

however i used nero to burn my cds.

btw, how often do you burn cds? like one after the other?

cricketplaya · August 1, 2006, 2:35am

Re: DVD burning

yes because i am too lazy to decrease the video size of the movie.. so i burn two cds one after other. is that bad?

Re: DVD burning

why not try updating the Philips DVD ROM firmware (IF YOU CAN).

Re: DVD burning

Why don't u use DVD Shrink and make the files down to under 4.5 gb? that way it will all fit on one DVD. Or use dual-layer media.
