I'm trying to burn a dvd, and I keep getting the following error "setting dvd+rdl disc layer jump address failed". how do I change the settings on the dvd burner? The media I'm using is the dual layer dvd+r from memorex 8x/8.5gb/240min. According to information from the seller its supposed to be keyed to go from 2.4x to max speed of 8x.

There is a whole raft of solutions. Read this article for assistance/understanding

If you try to burn this on a single layer DVD disk then you will get this error message unless your DVD burn program can compress the video so it can fit on a single layer DVD disc.
OTHERWISE
You need to upgrade your burner to a dual layer burner and burn your video onto a dual layer DVD disc.

What are you trying to record on.First you need a recorder.You cannot just put a cd or dvd in a player to record.They are play back only.Now what media are you putting in your recorder.If it is a cdr it will not record on dvd.What you said is you are using a dvd+rdl which is a dvd+ media with double layer (meaning 9.4 gig instead of 4.7 data).Any dvd recorder can handle the dl media.Look on the facinfg of the carriage and it will tell tell you the media intened to be used. cdr/cdrw or dvd/dvd-dl.Hope this helps

You are probably using a disc format which is not compatible with this model unit. Try using DVD-R instead of DVD+R. That should eliminate your error - and work fine. Give it a try - at this stage it is most likely a set of incorrect DVD formats (you can keep any unrecorded/remaining DVD+R discs for your PC (if it supports them) and use them as data storage).

* Single layer DVD-R 4.7GB/120min/4-16X discs are relatively cheap in a spindle tub (25 or 50 discs) available everywhere. *

The good news is no repair costs at this stage.

have had this problem myself and wasted many discs you need a new burner but there is a work around to this problem

just leave the disc open so that more data can be added and no more problems

it can not work anymore, you should get a new one for you game, for cheap CDKeys, you can have a view on https://www.m8x.com, other Games Gold and Games Items are available there, you can have a view there.

You need to find the manufacturer of the dvd drive and then go to their website and check which dvd formats are compatible.

the disc u are using is may not right for the burning u want to do.... try a different disc
also remember u cnt use a dad+rw for burning music

Do you have a dual layer burner, you need one to burn dual layer dvds that may be your problem hope it helps

DVD discs come in two capacity sizes.
Single layer DVD have a capacity of 4.7 Gb
Dual layer DVD have a capacity of 8.5 Gb
Some DVD burners are single layer burners only and cannot burn dual layer discs.
The error message you are getting would indicate that the disc you are using is not large enough to copy all your program material.
