Guys,
I resisted, but I've finally moved into the early 21st century and bought a Plextor dual layer burner. From what I can tell, software/hardware wise, everything is fine, but the resulting dual-layer discs burned from movie .iso files play terribly/don't really play (jitter, sound chop, etc..) on my normal home audio dvd players. I researched before buying media and found the Verbatim +R DL 8X (Silver w/Blue/Purple media side) were among the most reliable for .iso replication. I have also read these too suffer hit and miss performance on burns. (the QA issue when Verbatim moved manufacturing from Singapore to India).
I used k3b to burn. I also tested image creation using both dd and k3b and both the resulting images were the same.
Err, so what's the issue? Are you really just limited to a 40% success rate in burning from .iso, or is there something that I'm overlooking? Seems straight forward enough, (a) create the .iso, (b) burn it back, but so far I end up with the same result. (tried on multiple players)
What's the trick to minimize coasters?
If blu-ray is like CDs, then maybe the trick is to burn at a slower rate. Just to be on the safe side, try to burn one at the slowest rate your software will allow, and see what happens. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.
