I just bought a spindle of Ritek G04 media (beware....they are not really on a spindle, they just look that way. Lost 15 disks when they went flying all over the floor after I unwrapped them).
I tried one of them at 4x using DVDA on a project which was nearly the full size of the disk. It took around 16 minutes to burn and nearly went to the edges. Wouldn't play without skipping. Tried it at 1x speed using DVDA and it burned in 13 minutes????? Is that possible? I did it again and the same thing happened. Unless there is something wrong with the program and it's actually burning at a speed different than what it says I don't understand how it can burn at 1x in 13 minutes. Quicker than at 4x???
Second question. I have been using DVDA for burning, but I do have Record Now Max 4.5 which I normally use for CD burning. It works really well for that, but some people said that it works well for burning Video_Ts and Audio_Ts files authored in DVDA. I found a tutorial which gave the settings to use and followed them. They are as follows:
1. Start New Job....Data Disc.
2. Under Job Options set Pre-mastering cache to "Cache files smaller than 16Kb." Mode to "Mode1". Recording type to "Track at Once, Closed" File system type to UDF with Joliet. Up to 106 in length any char. plus Joliet plus 8+3(Bridge)"
3. Add Video_TS and Audio_TS folders.
4. Burn
I tried two different DVD-RW and three different brands of DVD-R which all work using DVDA and in every case the standalone players said that "This type of disc cannot be played". Burn them with DVDA and they play. Anyone run into DVDA files being incompatible with 3rd party burning programs. As I said I was under the impression reading other posts that Record Now Max burned DVDA files without a problem. Haven't tried Nero because my understanding is that very few versions work without problems.
