LIGHTENING UK is asking you for information over at the ImgBurn forum, if anyone can help you with this it would be him!

Yes, the disc plays fine in both VLC and Windows Media Player

Looks like they are booktyped ok and should play. Will the backup play in the computer?

Put one of your DL copies in Fab and post the info screenshot:

Basically the booktype tells the player what kind of disc is in it. Studio released DVD movies are all booktyped DVD-ROM.

Open ImgBurn on the desktop and select tools/settings and click on the write tab and make sure the autochange box is checked, see attached:

Auto change was already set.

Yes, still using Imgburn & +R DL blanks. What is booktype?

Tried to set booktype on dvd player but it failed - is a lite-on I believe.

Used the Samsung drive and it went okay (booktype that is)

When I get to select layer type it gives me 3 options but all are average.

ShallI select one of these or go with seamless?

Are you still using ImgBurn?
Are you using +R DL blanks?
And are you changing the booktype to DVD-ROM?

I've been successfully creating a standard DVD disc from an ISO using the Imgburn 'write image file to disc' as suggested in this thread. However, I tried to do the same with 'The Sweeney', which needs a dual layer disc. It completes fine and plays with VLC without issue. However, the DVD will not play in the DVD player - simply says 'disc error'.

Having wasted approx half a dozen discs I thought I'd ask if I'm doing anything obviously wrong before I run out of discs.

Could it be that the DVD player cannot handle dual layered discs, although I thought all players could handle dual layer discs these days as most commercial ones are.

Glad it worked for you!

[stevencavanagh]

"Write image file to disc" will do what you want.

Yes, that did it!

What is your goal?

To put the extracted ISO on a hard disk or on an optical disc?

Hi Gummigutta
I'm guessing and optical disc!!!

@ stevencavanagh
The question is why not use the original disc and just make a copy...
