Are you wanting to copy or make your own?

I've used http://www.dvdshrink.org/ to copy, works well

Do you have a DVD dual layer (DL) burner - most are these days and it would have the software with it. Most earlier DVD burners will not burn a DL disk.

there is one pedro but the name escapes me, found it the other week looking for something that ran on a PE disk.

activeiso (http://www.ntfs.com/iso_burner_free.htm) i think was the name, you need something to create the iso file with (http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/) .

DVD shrink doesnt have a burning program in it, it uses Nero or other program to do the recording.

yes Gary, its a Benq 1625 Lightscribe.

pgcedit looks wonderfull,,
but is all about DVD files, movies etc,


all I want to do is burn 8gb (yes its one folder) of
normal data onto a DL DVD.
I cant see where pgcedit will do that,,

http://www.cdburnerxp.se/features.php doesnt do it yet (possible useless post!) but apparently the next version will so worth looking out for... its free and its pretty good too...

Thanks

you just need to build an iso file..

the package above can do it but is a little complex, this package below can do it as well, may be easier for you to cope with.

You might be able to find older versions of B-Gold or Nero Express on the web if you do a google - they will both burn dual layer. You might have to buy the latest versions but sometimes older versions are availaable for free.

I think my Windows XP operating system has a burning function but I have never used it and do not know if it covers DVDs or DL DVDs.

Who knows maybe you OS has a function built into it.

will look Gary,,

thanks Inc;)


but---
believe it or not---
I get a .NET Framework error
an unhandled exception has occurred,
it gives me the option of continueing, which I have tried, but cannot get the program to function.

I have .NET, and its up to date as at July???
:confused:

or you can just install linux and the burning programs come free with the operating system.:D, K3b, K9copy etc. There is also Nero Linux avail, that is not free.
