Burning A Dvd-dl

[metalfex]

ok i bought 3 DVD-DL Memorex 8.5GB for like $25 CDN a few weeks ago.

today I burned a 6GB movie or tried to, it said 35 minutes remaining so i decided to take a shower in the meanwhile. After i came back it said 'Burn process failed at 2.4x (3,324 KB/s)' or something like that and I got so pissed off. I only have 2 dvd-dl left.

can someone guide me how to successfully burn this disc without errors, i used nero on the first try and failed. I also heard memorex are really good discs so i dont think thats the problem. and my burner supports DVD-9.

please tell me how to burn as I dont want to risk wasting my other 2 discs. Im now creating an image with magiciso and hopefully will try to burn it using magiciso burner.

any suggestions?

I know you can burn it like you would any other DVD video in Nero, you just have to select DVD-9 a the bottom of the compilation screen from the drop down menu. It takes a really long time to burn a dl disc though.

You have the newest Firmware in you burner? Reason i'm interested in this topic is that I all so have spindle of these Memorex DVD-DL but I have not yet opened the box.

not really, i got my pc as a gift in 2004 and my uncle said that the dvd burner was dual layer. I havent upgraded or done anything to it, not even installed any drivers or anything and it burned fine on the 2nd try.
