Hi everyone and as always thanks Chickenman for your great guides.

I have just purchased a Pioneer 108 Dual Layer Burner and have a couple of dual layer disks to try.

My question is, does anyone have any experience with copying movies, music dvd's etc onto dual layer media.

In the past I either use Chickenman's guide or DVD Shrink...

I am just trying one out as I type this with DVD Shrink....

I have never used CloneDVD and some people tell me that this is the best?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Many thanks :-)

I have a Pio 108 myself, all I have done is simply use DVD Decrypter in ISO mode to read the DVD9 and burn the ISO file to DL media. Works fantastic and you cant get it any simpler than that. Absolutely no need for Shrink/ CloneDVD/etc.

Yes, well thats very true, why the hell didn't I think of that ...*slaps himself * I feel stupid now..

FYI When I used DVD Shrink the DVD pauses at certain points and won't let you get passed it....not sure what the problem is though since it is the first one that I have done.

Maybe its the layer brake of the original is now not in the same position once written to the DL. Thats why I use DVD Decrypter in ISO mode.

Intervideo is the best for movies and use Any DVD. I alo have a question about overburning, what are the consequences of tooooo much? want to put 5.7 GB onto a 4.7 DVD made by Verbatim. It says for use in 4X DVD-R drives and I have a Megastore 6-in-1 Dual Layered burner 8X DVD+-R+-RW.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Overburning is simply not a feature of DVDR's. A DVDR, both - or +, holds 4.37 gb , not the advertised 4.7gb. They hold 4.7 billion bytes that equals 4.37gb. You simply cant get 5.7 onto a DVDR Single layer media unl;ess you use DL media, split the 5.7 into 2 or compress it to <=4.37gb.

A quick question?!

What speeds does dvd decrypter read a DVD9 disc to your HDD, my drive goes upto 16x speed but would only read the disc around 2-3x no matter what setting I choose.

this is a hardware limitation, not a software one. your drive's firmware is limiting the read speed for video dvds, which is common. depending on which drive you have, there might be a firmware upgrade that gets around this limitation.

I have the NEC 3500 drive and here is the new firmware for it. It allows you to do bitsetting on a single layer as well as dual layer disc and also removes the rip lock. Ive reached rip speeds of 12X on some dvds.
