CloneDVD error: source data is to large

dogdad7589

I've had CloneDVD for a year or so now but just recently have begun having a problem burning DVDs. When I insert the blank DVD for burning I get an error message informing me that the "source data is to large". Never had this problem before till just the last couple months or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

check the setting at the bottom of the opening screen. (the screen after you choose whether you're cloning, or copying one or more titles)

make sure it's set to DVD-5 if you're burning to a single layer disc.

i have changed the setting to dvd-5 and am trying again right now. it was set at dvd+r. i'll let you know if this works. and thanks very much for responding with the advice. greatly appreciated i assure you

you were set at dvd+r DL. that means dual layer media which is twice the capacity of the disc you're trying to burn. DVD-5 is your standard blank dvd

I can assure you that will solve your problem.

hey man I thank you very much for the help. this appears to have my problem as it is writing to the blank dvd right now. at least i got past the error message. we'll see what happens when it is completed. again i very much appreciate your help.

Sorry to but in this thread and go off topic, but what do you think is better for burning, Nero or CloneDVD?

The burning app doesn't make a great deal of difference, it's more down to the burner & the media as to what quality you get.

Personally I use Nero or ImgBurn for movies & Roxio for music CDs & get great results with all of them.
