dual layer burning crisis

Help me please!! I am trying to burn a dual layer dvd to a lacie d2 external drive. and when the formating finishes, it says that it is unsuccessful and that the image exceeds the max alowed size for a dual layer config. My project is 5.9GB. What's wrong??
Thanks so much,
Cathy

Hi all.


Cathy, before you started your DVDSP project, did you properly set your DVDSP preferences?

There is a preference setting where you tell your project the size of DVD-R to which your are recording your project. The choices are 4.7 and 8.5.

For dual layer DVD-R media, make sure that your DVD-R size is set to 8.5.


I hope this information helps.


Take care.

I always use the Advance Burn > Build and Advance Burn > Format...

And when you do Format, the Preferences window comes up to remind you to pick the drive, and on the middle tab, pick the size of the disc.

hello...i cannot figure out how to burn a dual layer dvd with DVDSP. My drive won't show up anywhere. I am using DVDSP 3 (the new upgrade) and the Lacie Drive..nothing...any tips??
