Burning DVD+R DL with DRU 700A

[roberto.negro]

All,
I have burned my first DVD+R DL using Nero 6 Suite and my Sony Vaio PCV-RS402 with DRU 700A installed inside (peplacing the standard DVD writer).
My DVD plays well in my PC, but when I insert it into my new Philips 720SA, which has passed the compatibility test by CDRINFO with DVD+R DL burned with SOBY DRU 700A, the player doesn't recognize it.
Is it possible that the problem is that the VY06E version of BIOS doesn't set correctly the BookType Bitsetting ?
Or is it some option I should have set in the burning phase ?

Thanks in advance,
Roberto.

Wonder if you can burn a DL data disk...?
Then we know it's the burner...

Kee-lo,
PROBLEM SOLVED.

It was not my SONY DRU700A. It was not my Philips 720SA.

It was that dam'n BookType BitSetting indeed !!!

I took my DVD folders created by Ulead DVD Workshop 2, then I used Nero Suite 6.0 to burn the DVD, using the option to set the BookType Bitsetting to "DVD VIDEO" for maximum compatibility.
It seems that the majority of DVD players try at very first to read this info on the DVD and then they point to the correct starting point for reading the contents. So, if this BookType BitSetting is set to "DVD-ROM" automatically by the software, or if it is not set, many player don't know what to read, and then they say "NO DISK".

I will open a BUG REQ to Ulead to fixing this problem.

Hope this helps someone out there in this community.

Regards,
Roberto.
