We burned some DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs with DVD-Video content. The source disc was "Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1 with a total size of 6.86GB. First we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter as ISO format (single file). We used Double Layer media provided by RiDisc and Verbatim (MKM).
We then used the latest CopyToDVD, and specifically the "Movie & Pictures" option, and then "Write DVD Video". The software prompts us to select the Video_TS/ISO image folder.
Now lets see how the drives performed with specific media, in this case MKM 001 DVD+R DL media.
Asus DRW-1604P
Verbatim +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 6X
BenQ DW1640
Verbatim +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 8X
LiteOn 1693S
Verbatim +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 4X
NEC ND-3530A
Verbatim +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 6X
Pioneer DVR-109
Verbatim +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 6X
Plextor PX 740A
Maxell +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 8X
Samsung TS-H552U
Verbatim +R DL media (MKM 001) @ 6X
Sony DRU-800A
