Burning on DL Disks

[Mr. Panda]

Hello,

I have been experiencing difficulties burning on Dual Layer disks.
I have read that Shrink will not work with DL and that Nero does not work all the time.

What I have been able to find out is that Decryp should be able to write on these.

I can not locate ISO Read or ISO Write anywhere in Decrypt.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Mr. Bear

[setarip_old]

Hi!I can not locate ISO Read or ISO Write anywhere in Decrypt.In DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4 click on the "Mode" tab and then hover over "ISO"...

[Mr. Panda]

Great!

I will try this next.

How can I tell what version I have?
I think I was able to get the latest but not so sure.

Any other suggestions for DL Burning programs?

I have just downloaded 11 pages of how to use PGCEdit.

Is this something I should try using?

Thank you very much,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

How can I tell what version I have?As with virtually all Windows programs, click on the "Help" dropdown menu and select "About"...

[Mr. Panda]

Sorry about I should have thought of that.

What is your favorite burning program for thsese disks?

Thank you again,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

First, I'd very strongly suggest that you use ONLY Verbatim DL DVD+R.

Although I've personally never encountered any problems using NERO to burn my DL media, others here will suggest to you that you use "IMGBurn"...

[Mr. Panda]

Thank you very much!

That should about do it.

I am now going to give all my DYNEX blank DL disks to my friend for target practice.

Will now look into Image Burn.

Sincerely,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

Will now look into Image Burn.No - look into "IMGBurn". You can obtain this freeware program at:

www.imgburn.com

V.2.0 is supposed to be coming out in a day or so...

[Mr. Panda]

Hello Setarip_Old,

I really wanted to thank you for all your help.

Verbatim ssem to be the only disks work using.
Even their single layer disks work extreamly well for me.
I am going to find my friend so I can give him all my DYNEX disks to shoot at.

Had no idea that IMG Burn is the new Decrypt.
Am not able to get it to work so I will re read the directions on the site you gave me.
It sure beats going through 11 pages of instructions on PGCEdit.

I have found Write ISO on Decrypt but cliking on it does nothing.
So I will try working with this some more as well.

Again,

Thank you so much for your extreamly hellpful suggestions.

Most appreciated,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

Thank you so much for your extreamly hellpful suggestions.As always, my pleasure ;>}

[Mr. Panda]

Yikes,

Nothing is ever as easy for me at it should be.

Just read and re read instructions for IMGBurn.
Very simple process to write.
Just 3 procedures.


But I can not get it to work.
Inserted blank media,only one choice thanks to you,
Trying to select Image to be burned but it is unable to locate it, VIDEO_TS or name of Image.
Nothing comes up.

Suggestions?:thanks:

[setarip_old]

Sounds like you haven't created an .ISO image file (IMGBurn does not presently work with DVD "packages" of .IFOs, .BUPs, and .VOBs - usually in a "VIDEO_TS" folder. The peomised soon-to-be-released version 2.0 of IMGBurn WILL recognize such file "packages")...

[CWR03]

Had no idea that IMG Burn is the new Decrypt.
It's not - it's only a burning application which currently will only burn an .ISO image. You need DVD Decrypter to create that image first, assuming your disk doesn't contain any special protection that DVD Decrypter cannot crack, such as ARccOS or RipGuard.

[setarip_old]

Per the IMGBurn homepage:ImgBurn can write most types of CD / DVD images

[r0lZ]

Suggestions?:thanks:You CAN use ImgBurn to burn DVD-Video files (a VIDEO_TS folder), but you have to produce the ISO first. Use PgcEdit's burn function. It will launch ImgBurn for you. Don't be afraid by the length of the guide. It's really straightforward.

[CWR03]

Per the IMGBurn homepage:
What I meant, which should have been obvious, is that ImgBurn cannot burn anything ripped by DVD Decrypter other than an .ISO image.

[ElBoricua433]

It will soon, you just have to wait till V. 2.0 comes out

[Mr. Panda]

Hello,

First I would like to that thank everyone who has replied to my questions.
I truly appreciate all the help.

I always use Decrypter first.
Just assumed that Decrypt put the information in a ISO file.
.

Will wait until Version 2.0 of IMGburn comes out.

I have the instruction from PGCEdit in front of me and will study them over the weekend.

Most appreciated!!!!

It will put the information in an ISO file if you select Mode > ISO > Read.

[Mr. Panda]

Outstanding!

Thank you very much for the visual.

This is just what I needed to see.

Most appreciated!!!!

[Mr. Panda]

Hello,

Imagburn works great!
But since I have no Verbatium DL Disks yet I have not tried them.
Will get some ASAP to practice with.
Am not even going to try on my DYNEX DL disks.

What is the difference between IMAGBurn 2.0 and PGCEdit?
Do they compliment each other?
Do I ned both?

Thank you,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

Am not even going to try on my DYNEX DL disks.How can you resist? ;>}
Do I ned both?For creating and burning DL media, you should only need IMGBurn v.2.0...

[Mr. Panda]

Funny,

I was asking myself the same question.
But have heard such bad things about any other blank DL's than Verbatium that I have been trying to resist using DYNEX disks.

So what is PGCEdit good for???
Why do some people use it?

Thank you,

Mr. Panda

[blutach]

PgcEdit is a highly advanced IFO editor. It also has a burning function inbuilt that makes ISOs and calls ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com). This is no longer needed as ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) has yesterday released v2, which can also make ISOs from VIDEO_TS folders.

[setarip_old]

But have heard such bad things about any other blank DL's than Verbatium And it's all true!that I have been trying to resist using DYNEX disks.But they're just sitting there - awaiting experimentation - otherwise, just a total waste ;>}

[Mr. Panda]

First off,

I would like to thank everyone who has replied to my questions.
I have received outstannding replies from people who are extreamly knowlegable and just plain care.
This I trully appreciate!

I have found the people who have replied to be outstanding.
Have not had quite the same experience on other Forms I use.
This is truly and excellent form!!
Am extreamly greatful that I found Doom9.

ImagBurn should be perfect for my needs.
PGCEdit does look fairly advanced.

I guess it would not hurt to try my DYNEX disks but am not very confident they will work at all.
If they fail I can always give them to my neighbor.
Have not given them to them yet for shooting at.

Most appreciated,

Mr. Panda

[Mr. Panda]

One last question on IMAGBurn,

Can I use it to record directly from a non encryped DVD to a Blank disk?
Or do I always to have to burn to my HD first?

Thanks again,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

Can I use it to record directly from a non encryped DVD to a Blank disk?Yes - as long as, as you say, it's NOT encrypted...

[Mr. Panda]

Great!

Not sure why I could not get this to work before but will try again.
Disks such as my home made disks, no encription Etc.

Other disks without encription.

:thanks: Mr. Panda

[blutach]

@Mr Panda

To achieve what you want, use Build mode and set the little icon to "device" and not "hard drive" (under Free space:)

[Mr. Panda]

Perfect!!!

Outstanding!

Exactly what I needed to know.

You people are amazing!!!

THank you so much,

Mr. Panda

[Mr. Panda]

Now all that is left is for me to something that will not burn on a regular disk.Not enough length.

Where is my copy of Napolian.
Think it is seven hours or so.

Ha!

:thanks: Mr. Panda

[r0lZ]

Use DVDShrink to compress the data a bit, or split the DVD in two parts.

[setarip_old]

@r0lZ

I believe "Mr. Panda" actually WANTS to burn a DL DVD, but doesn't have the source material...

[Mr. Panda]

Absolutely!!!!:thanks: Mr. Panda

[Mr. Panda]

Hello again,

My decrypter just started only decrypting the single movie and not the menues Etc.

Can you show me where I can set it to decrypt the entire disk including menues,extras,movie Etc?

I think I must have done something to change the settings.

Most appreciated,

Mr. Panda

[CWR03]

You can use either of two modes:

File mode (Click Mode > File, then click Edit > Select All) which you can burn with ImgBurn, or

ISO mode (Click Mode > ISO > Read) which you can burn with either DVD Decrypter or ImgBurn.

Either method will rip everything from the disk and include it in the copy.

[blutach]

If you are using RipIt4Me, select the mode you want in step 1 - see the guide on the site.

Regards

[Mr. Panda]

Wow!

That was fast!

Did not expect excellent replies that quickly.

Thank you so much for the replies.

I have not used Ripit4me before.

How is it different from Decrypt?

This site is simply amazing!

Most appreciated,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

I have not used Ripit4me before.
How is it different from Decrypt? "RipIt4Me" is actually an integrated package of programs, incorporating "RipIt4Me", "DVD Decrypter", "FixVTS", and (if you wish to use it for compressing) "DVD Shrink".

Unfortunately, by itself, "DVD Decrypter" (which is no longer updated) has outlived its usefulness, as it cannot handle the newer copy protection schemes. However, when incorporated as part of the integrated "RipIt4Me" package of ripping/decrypting/cleaning programs (which can be operated transparently as a true "one-click" solution), DVD Decrypter continues to be one of the most useful tools in the world of DVD backup!

Try ripping your DVD(s) using the easy to use "RipIt4me" package (Incorporates RipIt4Me, DVD Decrypter, FixVTS, and DVD Shrink). You can download this excellent freeware from:

www.ripit4me.org

While you're at that site, read the excellent "how to" tutorial...

[Mr. Panda]

Outstanding!

I had never even heard of this program until today when I looked at this excellent site.

Package sounds extreamly useful.

I will now read the tutorial.

Most appreciated,

Mr. Panda
PS.

I have only had Decrypt not work only once or twice at best.

[setarip_old]

I have only had Decrypt not work only once or twice at best.The more recent the release dates of your purchased DVDs, the more likely you'll run into "ARccOS" and/or "RipGuard" copy protection that cannot be handled solely by DVD Decrypter...

BTW - To avoid confusion and uncertainty, please refer to DVD Decrypter as "DVD Decrypter", not just "Decrypt" - because there are several different programs whose names include "Decrypt"...

[Mr. Panda]

I understand that some studio's are using the new encription devices.

Yes,

I was wondering about Decrypt terminalogy as opposed to DVD Decrypt.

Thanks,

Mr. Panda

[Mr. Panda]

The guide for RipIT4Me is very comprehensive.

Will put some time away so I can read through it throughly.

From a quick glance of it,
Does seem to be an extreamly effective and through program.

Thank you for mentioning it to me.

Most appreciated.

Mr. panda

[setarip_old]

Decrypter Etc.Yet again, for the sake of clarity, please refer to the program as "DVD Decrypter"...

[Mr. Panda]

Yet again,

My appologies!

You are absolutely correct.

I should have said, DVD Decrypter.

Thanks again for correcting me.

Mr. Panda

PS.

I guess this also means I can not say "Shrink","Rebulider","Edit" ETc....

[setarip_old]

I guess this also means I can not say "Shrink","Rebulider","Edit" ETc....I presume you're being facetious now. There is usually no confusion about what is meant by "Rebuilder" or "Shrink". "Edit", on the other hand, could refer to any number of programs.

(Yes, I'm aware that there is a program named "Shrinkto5", but no one uses it...)

[Mr. Panda]

Yes,

A little joke on my part.

Never heard of Shrink 5.

Anway,

Thanks again,

Mr. Panda

[setarip_old]

Happy Ripping ;>}

Happy Burning ;>}

Happy New Year!

[blutach]

Not sure if no-one uses ST5 - I'm sure some people do.
