OK I know that this sounds strange but I got for free 5 Verbatim DVD-R DL disks and I decided to make a backup of my RainbowSix Vegas disk just to test.

I have xtreme 5.2 and it works!!! (actually it loads perfectly I loaded the first mission but I havent had time to play it more).

So does this mean that DVD-R DL disks work or that after a few levels (after passing the layer break) the disk will fail???

I have a Samsung ms28 and the disk was burned with imgburn.


So does anybody know what is going on?

Well I have the same DVDs. Will tell you tomorrow if they work on my samsung 25 and 5.2 firmware. Today I have no time cuz going to work now.

That's nice, I guess but at least here in the states D/L DVD-R is almost twice the price of D/L DVD+R which works well with ALL drives and applications.  Good to know for future reference though.

Dont forget to tick the "Layer Jump Recording" option in the Settings/Write in ImgBurn before writing

I dont know if it makes any difference but I used it when I burned mine (also after some internet search that I did it is the closest thing that the DVD-R DL has to the Layer Break of the +R DL's)


Here DVD-R DL are cheaper and more available than +R DL disks!!

Where do you live?

Last evening I just made Halo 2 backup on Verbatim DVD-R Single Layer and it works, this is after I made 7 coasters experimenting on making XBOX 1 backup game on single layer disc.

Since I don't have XBOX, what I did was made 1:1 copy with XBC using my brand new Samsung SH-D162C (bought it for $20) and then open the ISO with wx1.6 and extract all the files into a folder and used XDVDMulleterBeta1 with Halo 2 NTSC Optimise layout file to make the DVD5 backup iso and burnt it with CloneCD with my Benq DW1640.

SO it is definetely working I burned FIFA 2007 on a Verbatim DVD-R DL and it also works I used Imgburn and the only options I changed were the layer break to the one the game uses (in my case 1913760) and ticked the option below it "Use Layer Jump Recording".

I used an LG drive the GSA-E10L.

I burned FIFA 2007 at first on a DVD+R DL on the same drive but it didn't work (I got the dirty, scratched disk error) and the I decided to use a DVD-R DL and as I said above it works I played for like a half hour and loaded different games with different teams and it worked during all that time.


SO does anybody have any objections or suggestions to make?

If not I think that we can officially declare Verbatims DVD-R DL as a working bakup option.

PS If one of the moderators could change the title of the topic to show that it really works.

[sosotiit]

Did not read all the thread, but has someone played a game from A to Z to confirm that passing the layerbreak will work?

anyway, removed the ? in the title.

thanks for all the test,

rgds,soso

Ok to anyone still interested I finished from start to end

RainBow Six Vegas from my backup disk a

Dual Layer DVD-R

and everything worked fine

SO DVD-R DL WORK AS GOOD AS +R DL DISKS ON A TS-H943

Al

PS I now it took me to long but I had a dead m/b after an RROD and it took me 5+ months to have the money fix it and have time to play again.

PS I finished the rest of the game on a ixtreme 1.2c firmware

[sosotiit]

I keep a list of the thread I am curious of the outcome, yours was there and I almost removed it last week thinking that it was dead. Happy to see it works, and a huge thanks for coming back on this.

So basically
-put layerbreak 1913760
-use Use Layer Jump Recording

On what firmware have you tried that, if not iXtreme 1.2, can you confirm if you ever try with it  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

sosotiit Thanks for the interest

As I said on the second PS I finished the game on a iXtreme 1.2 rev C (I started the game on a xtreme 5.2) It worked perfectly on both firmwares.

I also played for about an hour FIFA 2007 as stated above FEAR UNLEASHED and BATTLEFIELD 2 MODERN COMBAT.

The settings on ImgBurn are as you described them "layerbreak 1913760, Use Layer Jump Recording"

The disks used where VERBATIM DVD-R DUAL LAYER made in Singapore with reorder number 43542

I used two different recorders a PIONEER 111L and a LG GSA-E10L and backups on both worked the same

If a moderator wants to change the Topic to reflect that it also works with iXtreme 1.2c I  would be grateful.

Al
