[bobber128]

I have a Plextor PX760A DVDR- DL Burner, When I attempt to put a Dual Layer disk in my drive, When using iether capture to disk or DVDBuilder, the drive will rotate and start as if though it is burning and then will stop and SAY I do not have the correct media in the drive, media creator 7.5 does support DL? does'nt it? I have just recently discovered that in my dvd builder I have to encode the movie to ISO first and then use MY DVD TO BURN THE DISK BUT IT WILL ONLY USE 4.7 DVD +R, DOES'NT LIKE DL, REGARDLESS WHAT BRAND I USE. heeeeellllllp????? I also have EMC7.5 Download, which I also find there is no update for correct?.

That Plextor should write both plus R and dash R according to the web information. Update the firmware for that burner. Be careful to follow all instructions exactly. The latest update is here. Dated April 27, 2006.

 

There is an older update for 7.5 use the update link to the left of this message to see if it applies.

This is from a Knowledge Base FAQ.

I have 7.5.2.49 on a system with a Plextor 716A and have no problems writing to Verbatim +R DL media. Are your project settings set to DVD?

I have the EMC7.5 download and there's no update for it - at least that's what Roxio Updater says. My version of VideoWave & DVD Builder is 7.5.0.47

Lance--There is no update for 7.5 on the downloaded version. The update only applies to the retail program. The retail versions manufacturing date was prior to some of the updates that Roxio had for the 7.5. However, if you downloaded your copy it already has all the updates.

 

Based on all the technical information that has been shared by others, that drive should burn DL media. As cd suggested, make sure you have your settings right for DVD burning.
