Avatar problems

[tedy2748]

I can make a copy of Avatar to a 4.7 GB DVD but if I try to make a copy to a DVD+ DL (Memorex) the copy can be read by my computer or XBox but NOT readable to the three DVD players I have tried. Is it a problem with the brand of DVD not being able to be read by DVDs?

Post a burn log for starters.

Also if you have access to any other brand of DL disc try one to see if it will play.

Memorex is known to be a problematic disc.

In addition to Gruñón's excellent advice, you might have better luck bitsetting the +R DL discs, although 3/3 players failing doesn't bode well.
The burn logs should isolate the problem.

Please use Verbatim +R DL media, preferably MIS (made in Singapore...look on the spindle wrapper for manufacturer locale).
Verbs are the only DL media we recommend.

You are burning at Max speed.
Slow it down to 4X.

The only things I can see that might be the problem is your brand of media and your burn speed.
