Re: Help! DVD Architect problems with a dual layer burn

Steve,

First, thanks for responding so quickly.

I have an update and a slight correction to my previous post:

The correction: I should have mentioned that the disk does play on my PC, however, it does not auto play in it. I have to manually invoke a Play command to launch a player (such as Windows Media Player).

The update: I followed a suggestion to download a free copy of "ImgBurn", which I then used to access the VIDEO_TS folder that Architect prepared. It flawlessly burned a copy of my disk to a Verbatim disk from the same batch, even allowing me to select and preview where I wanted the layer break to occur. This disk works perfectly in every player I've placed it in.

Now, I'm aware that none of this is conclusive in terms of the cause of the original failure. I think it may be possible that I had a bad disk (although many people have commented that they have had excellent results with Verbatims, which is why I chose them). But I continue to wonder why I never received any errors from Architect during the burn process. So in my mind, the jury is still out as to whether or not Architect does have a bug that inhibits consistent, accurate burning of dual layer DVDs. Of course, I could continue to try to burn more dual layer disks with Architect, but you can understand why I hate to spend a lot of money on multiple DL disks in such an experiment.

Any input to this situation would be of interest to me from other readers out there.

Thanks again, Steve....
