Should I use DL disks for all movies or can I use DVD +R for movies less than 2 hours? If I can use DVD +R disc's, which are the best top 3? Thank you.

You can use S/L for most all movies.
If you want to spend the extra money ...use D/L.
If not then S/L are fine.
Verbatim and Ty S/L are very high quality and are easily obtainable at about $.40 per disc. For D/L.....Verbatim at about $2 per disc.

Hello. Ok Mr. OldJoe are you saying I don't have to use a d/L disc. I am understanding your answer to steviegt as no.. even if its over 2hrs.. I just burnt up one burner dvd drive and really dont want to burn this new one up so soon.. I am using verbatim disc now.. When I called best buy they lied to me and said they didnt have any.. well when I went to buy my new burner they had alot ... really upset me ..
Also I am sorry to upset forum a few days ago.. I am 52 yrs old and I just didnt understand what they wanted me to do and after reading post after post and doiing some of the things they have asked ppl to do i have learned a few things but still not all they were asking me to give them.. I am almost completely ignorant of computers .. I know things happen bugs and things I was just so worried I had done some really bad things to my puter for anydvd and clone to not work.. I have used this great product for 4yrs or so.. my friend had it and then I got my own..
I just want to say I am really truly sorry webslinger got really upset with me. and gave me a warning... This is my 2nd time to put a post in a forum and I hope i dont get in trouble again for putting this here.. I just am so sorrry for all the wrong I have done. And Thanks for your time Mr. oldjoe if u could help me with the disc thing. I sorry for having to be treated like I am in preschool but like I said i love my puter and dont want to mess it up .. so I dont touch nothing but start and my fans and shut it down.. Again I am so sorry to all on this forum..

You never have to use Verbatim +R DL (made in Singapore) if you don't want to, but those are the only DL anyone should really be using at the moment. The only problem is that when a movie is large and you compress it to a single layer disc, you may notice the quality of your backup isn't very good (especially on large televisions).

For the record, I didn't issue a warning for where you posted, but rather what you posted. I went to the trouble of trying to help you, and you turn around and insult my efforts? I don't appreciate that at all. I spend a lot of time and energy trying to help people here--and I don't get paid for it (I don't work for Slysoft). And I wasn't the only moderator that felt that way. That said, apology accepted.

If you don't understand something, you need to explain exactly what you don't understand so that I and others can help you further. I think you'll notice I am quite willing to help people with Anydvd/Clonedvd issues.

I, unlike others, do not have an excellent "bedside manner" (so I apologize if I seem gruff; I'm really not in person).

This is up to personal preference, but I find with many of my movies I don't have to transcode to fit them on a SL disc - sometimes ripping the movie only fits onto a SL back-up, sometimes ripping the movie only and deleting additional audio streams works too. I only consider DL if I can't fit the movie onto SL without transcoding.

Best 3 would be:

Taiyo Yuden Preimum
Verbatim <-- this is what I use for DVD+R DL
Taiyo Yuden OEM <-- this is what I use for DVD-R

In all honesty, with +R DL blank media I prefer using this method: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=3652

Clonecd is an excellent method for lazy people like me (very simple as well). Sometimes, I'll also use Imgburn, but that process may be a little too involved for you at the this time. Try Clonecd with Verbatim +R DL (made in Singapore).

Again, if you don't understand any of the steps, let us know exactly what you're having problems understanding. Thanks

Then I'm very sorry. I honestly don't intend to make anyone cry. That's the last thing I would ever want to make someone do. Very sorry

Don't let the nice demeaner fool you... clubbing baby seals is a national passtime where he comes from. Clubbing noobs on the board is good off-season practice. :D :D :D

Ask him nice and you can get one of these! (see attached image)

Now that I've had my fun with Mr. Slinger... here's my serious reply. This is a topic whre you'll get a lot of opinions. It's my opinion that you can get a "normal" movie on a Single Layer disc with minimal compression losses, providing you just take the main movie only. If you want to copy the whole DVD, trailers, menus, bonus junk, and all - then you really need a Duel Layer disk to get a good clean backup.
