DVD Double Layer Media (discs) [DVD + R DL] |
|
|
I have a HP Pavillion PC, with a Phillips DVD8421 writer. On the front of the
PC base unit there is a sticker that says "+RW 8x double layer" and from what
I can work out from various sites on the net, this writer is capable of
writing to double layer media. But my Pinnacle Studio 9 software still sees
the disc as 4.7Gb and not 8.5GB. Is this writer in fact capable of writing to
double layer media and if it can, what do i need to change to get my
software/ pc to realise that it is a dl disc?

Check with Pinnacle to see if they have an update to their software. Roxio
EMC 7 will happily write to dual layer discs as will the latest version of
Nero. Since I don't have any Pinnacle software, that's something I can't
check from here!

This seems to be a review of your burner:

There are a couple of other articles saying it is a rebadged Benq drive, but
no confirmations on that.

For double-layer DVD authoring you need to upgrade to Studio 9 Plus
