snip what Mr Hardy has already covered

I am about to try that now. I have some Verbatim DL DVD-R.

You need to think more about the dye used and not the brand on the
label.

What type of dye would you recommend?

So far I have tried:

RICOHJPN D01 067 (Aone 8x DVD+R DL)
MKM 01RD30 (Verbatim 4x DVD-R DL)

What do I try next? Taiyo Yuden? Do they even make Dual Layer
media? Maybe they're not stupid enough to?

I have to bare in mind that my system seems to get on better with
DVD-R DL than +R DL. These ones at least are readable on my system no
problems if not many other places.

I would be interested to know of any other people in this newsgroup
who has had sucess burning video to dual layer DVD and has had no
problems playing that back in a variety of drives and players. Would
love to know what type of discs you used and what software you used as
well to encode and burn it and also what burner you have. So far I
just think that DVD players and drives don't like any blank dual layer
discs that have been burned. They seem to only like the professional
hollywood movies in this dual layer format.

Maybe when Blu Ray burners come down in price I'll finally have a
format I can burn my project onto in full quality without any
problems?

Cheers
