Dvd burn fail

[Tabee42874]

I'm having a issue. I am prompted for a double layer disc I put one in... it burns to 50% then spits it back out saying disc burn failed. I'm not sure what I need to change.

I see a couple problems but I'm no expert on Dual layer DVD's

1) Poor media choice. Try Verbatim Dual Layer disc (might cost a bit more but will have a much better success rate.

2) your drive has a 'newer" firmware update and that can cause it to have problems finding the correct write strategy. Check here at (another thing you might check HP's site for the update but usually thet are terrible about that.

3) I think your computer has a service pack 3 available (may not be part of the problem but it's always best to keep everything updated since most programs base their updates on the latest service pack)

More can be added about setting the layer break during the burn but as stated I'm no expert on that since I always use single layer DVD's.

Can I change the setting to burn to single layer? I started using dvd fab and it only gives me the double layer option?

[W&B]

Yes in the dropdown beside quality select DVD5 and purchase some 4.7 gb single layer DVD's (I suggest verbs but you can try other brands) The default output can also be changed in Fab's common settings.
