hi buddy, im not sure why it would state this as long as your burner supports both formats there should be no problems.. if th problem is still there have you tried using a different burning program..

quite a few free ones are listed here so maybe try 1 of those and see if it works.

Just little note in case some of metpagers don't know:

You should never burn DVD DL's with Nero. As far as I know Nero has no idea how to go to the next layer, so you wont be able to play DVD DL on your DVD player. It works fine on PC though. The best way to burn DVD DL show is to make an ISO in IMGBurn (choosing the right layer break) and then burn it with that tool.

Maybe new Nero versions can do that, but like 2 years ago I burned some DL DVDs with it and always failed to play the whole thing on my standalone DVD player.

Totally right, nero can't burn properly Dual Layers DVDs.

Also you need to check if your dvd recorder suports DVD+

I've always used Nero to burn DL dvd's and i've never had any problems whether the discs were for myself or for trades.

FWIW i'm using version 6.6.0.19

I don't think the newer versions have this issue anymore. I'm using version 9.4.13.2

Hmmmm interesting about Nero, I just burnt a dual layer DVD a couple of days ago.

I'll have to test it on my player now (it worked on the PC), but hopefully it's just an issue with earlier versions and it's all good now as SJ has said :)
