Burning Dual-Layer Discs For The First Time
Link

Time
I have burned 5 dl discs and have 4 coasters. I have folled all the guides for pgcedit and imgburn, I have the latest firmware for my (sony) burner, and I have always bought verbatim DL discs. I tried ADM HP1 twice, and both failed. I tried ADM HP4 twice and failed, and I just burned ADM T3, and it told me that it failed, but it seems to have worked OK. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have noticed that every time I try to open a disc, pgc gives me a warning window that says:

Any clue as to what I'm supposed to enter here?

After I click yes or no, I get this screen:

I don't see this in the guide anywhere, and I'm only 70% sure of what I'm supposed to do here.

Also, the pgcedit how-to guide tells me that after I load my first DVD that:

"(ii) The first time you burn from PgcEdit, the following setup screen will appear."

, and it shows this menu that I'm supposed to edit. I have never seen this menu, nor can I find it. I've tried restarting, resetting, and re-downloading with no luck. Any idea where I can set this stuff up?

Whenever it comes time to select the layer break, I have yet to see a title that gives me a green, blue, yellow, or pink position, and I just end up previewing the breaks and make an educated guess.

I have made it through pgcedit, being about 80% sure that i created a proper ISO, but when I open up IMGburn, it just seems to go downhill from there with most
of my burns failing at 50% or less.

Can anyone PLEASE help me, before I kill something?

Ducttapeearth, I would be more hesitant to play that record on a Sears record player than I would be to send it off to a stranger. That being said, I completely understand your being nervous about sending it off to be copied.

If you change your mind, the offer stands. You'll end up with a perfect recording of your LP if you do.

And like I said before, this offer applies to anyone on OT.com doing fan edits or preservations. I would post this offer elsewhere, but I'm not sure which forum would be appropriate.

If it's of any help for this, or any other project, i have a very nice setup for recording vinyl LPs.

I have a harmon kardon t-50 turntable with a nice new Ortofon cartridge/needle, a Harmon Kardon avr520 receiver, a nice high-end phono pre-amp (of which i can't think of the name right now), and a Pioneer Elite PDR-99 standalone cd recorder (considered to be one of the best cd recorders ever made).

If someone wanted to, they could send me a record and i could make a very nice, straight burn of it. I have about 5000 LP's, and about 2000 45's, I worked at two record stores and I'm completely anal-retentive about my records (my wife can't touch most of them) so you could send me records knowing that you wouldn't have to worry about their safety.

If anyone is interested in my help, just pm me and I'll give you my address.
