I've thought about buying the Sony DRU-700A . . .
Does existing commercially-sold software programs (Easy CD Creator, Nero) support dual layer burning? Any problems with it? Or did you use software from some internet site?
I'd like to burn some VHS tapes--for movies never released on DVD--on to ONE dual layer disk. Is this a feasible idea (recognizing that video quality won't be any better than the tape copy)?
I read in a NY Times article that you can't pick your layer break with the dual layer disks, because the disks must contain the same amount of data on each layer. Therefore, a 90-minute program will break at 45 minutes, whether it's a "good time or not."
Finally, the Pioneer new DVR-A08 ($179) will be the first with the ability to write certain DL disks at 4x.

the sony burner comes with a copy of nero that supports dual layer, so i suspect all the major programs would have updates by now.
the support is only partial though. nero burning rom understands dual layer, but nero vision express doesn't.
yes you should be able to burn VHS tapes onto DVD provided you have an appropriate analog capture card and software.
i haven't found any software yet that allows me to control where the layer change is, but one at least one disc (which i burnt using DVD decryptter) the layer change was "seamless" on my sony dvd player. the only way i can tell where the layer change was was by turning on the sony layer indicator. i was pretty impressed by this - i always knew it was possible to create seamless layer changes, but i thought it required a bit of effort. maybe i was just really really lucky.
- Thanks for your input . . . (nt) - townsend 07:50:14 08/13/04 (0)
