DVD Burning Problems?

[lucasweb]

i found this info on the page that lynne linked to right above your post:

If you have an .iso file that you wish to burn to DVD-R using Toast 5*

1. Open Toast
2. Go to the Other tab and select Disc Image
3. Drag the .iso file into the window
4. Put a blank CD-R in your drive
5. Then hit record

I don't have toast.

Use disk utility. It is in applications/utilities.

Make sure the image is not mounted.

Clint, my page does say how to do it, but it includes the step to make the iso file. As stated right above me, just use Disk Utility.

Are there safer speeds to burn dvd's like there are for audio cd's?? For Audio discs I have been told to never burn over 16X to preserve quality, life of disc, etc. Does anyone know if anything along these lines pertains to dvds as well?

Thanks!

i generally burn my archive DVDs or DVDs for a trade at 1x. for a DVD i'm burning just to watch, i burn at 4x (as fast as my burner will go). obviously for a DVD-video disc i'm burning to watch, i'm not too worried about any errors since i have an archive disc.

Thanks for the info. Anyone know if there are noted problems (errors, life, etc?) with burning dvd's at faster speeds? I've been burning at 8X. Am I comprimising anything?

i'm not positive on this, but i'd imagine it's closely related to CDRs at higher speeds... all sorts of techie info on pits, valleys, yada yada. there are plenty of articles on that topic. (google time)

In need of another DVD burning utility or a way to re-demo Nero. Thanks-

I like to reformat my hard drive when demo software expires.

You could always pay for it and get the full license. A demo is just that; a demo to see if you like the app and then you pay for it if you do like it.

Use DVDCrypter and DVD Shrink for your DVD's and use Burn At Once for CD's
and BAO recognizes DVD drives , too , for data burns , at least , all of which does not do some of the stuff Nero can do , but they're free and they've never burned a coaster on me yet in 3-5 months....

And nobody will imply you're cheap , they'll know you are .....

but they can't truly call you a thief......

p.s. didn't your burner come with software ?
