It seems that making dual-layer DVDs is not much more expensive than single
layer ones, since almost all movies now are supplied on dual-layer discs.
My questions are:

1. Why do some dual-layer DVDs change layers when the first layer is full,
and others change layers halfway through? When one burns a dual-layer
DVDR, how does the burning program know where to change layers?

2. Is there a way to burn a different movie on each of the 2 layers, and
direct the player to start with one or the other?

3. If the above is impossible, is there a way to force a layer change at a
specific place in the program?

4. Are there any burning programs that will allow you to make a DVD player
compatible dual-layer disc without closing the session, so that additional
material can be added later?

Thanks,

Norm

I had thought the Canon XLs were of higher quality than
the GL2, but in another discussion group someone said
the GL2's sensor is better because it has a higher resolution,
producing a noticeably better video. Is that true? In another
group someone suggested getting a consumer grade HD
camcorder like a Canon HV20 or 30. They are cheaper
and HD, so what's better about the pro-sumer grade Mini DV
cameras over the consumer grade HD cameras, if anything?

I have been trying to burn a dual layer dvd using Nero essentials
3.10.1.3 and alcohol 120%% ion windows vista ultimate and it keeps
failing . Her is the nero log:

I'd like to get a decent camera and learn to make some
documentary type videos. Being a poor boy I'm looking
at older used models. Since I'll be doing some shooting
of lakes and wildlife a strong zoom would be best, so to
begin with I decided on a GL2. But that has no XLR inputs,
so what would be needed to use external mics? Would it be
better to pay a few hundred dollars more for a used XL1?
How much performance difference is there between an XL1
and an XL1S?

Thank you for any advice or suggestions!

Hello,

I made a DVD using DVD Santa - when it was done an option to burn the
DVD came up. I clicked no as I had to do something else. Came back,
there is not burn option after that.

Any way to get it back, or do I just make my own TS_VIDEO folder, dump
them in there and burn?

Thanks,

I have several DVD+RW discs that I can't erase; I can't erase them because
the erase program doesn't know it's an RW disc. Apparently, a program can't
erase a disc it doesn't recognize as an eraseable disc. Rather it thinks
the disc is a DVD-ROM.

Is there some program that will wrestle a DVD+RW back to the way it came
from the factory?

Thanks,

Norm Strong

I've seen several places that advertise a new Canon GL2
for between $649-$949, like:

When I ordered one I was asked what type lense I wanted,
and I said just send the one that comes with it. By then I
was aware that there is some sort of lying going on, because
these places will insist...
