The R1 DVD of Day of the Dead (2008) is recorded using parallel layers instead of opposite layers (which is what is used 99% of the time):
When making a 1:1 copy using AnyDVD 6.4.1.2 and CloneCD 5.3.1.0, it appears to successfully burn a backup, however, it changes the layers to opposite instead of preserving them as parallel. It also uses 3705712 sectors instead of 3705697. It also does not appear to set the book type... even though I used the Liteon 20A1H Bitsetting Utility 1.3.5 to always set the book type of DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM, it did not work. The Booktype stayed as DVD+R DL:
The exact same issues occur when burning with Nero 8 using "DVD Copy" which is also a 1:1 copy function. (Nero 8 also usually sets the booktype to DVD-ROM even if the Liteon Bitsetting Utility is not used. In this case, even though Nero says that the DVD-ROM booktype was successfully set in the log, it did not actually get set to DVD-ROM and stayed as DVD+R DL.) Even though the burned DVD appears to work OK, Nero returns a "Burn Failed" error message:
("Disc-at-once" is the only burn option Nero gives me; the control to select anything else is greyed out.)
The image created with Nero 8's "DVD Copy" also used a different layer break position than CloneCD did (but still changed the layers to opposite), and is 3705696 sectors, much closer to the original 3705697 sectors:
Parallel layers seems to be a problem, but I'm not sure if the issue is with AnyDVD, my Liteon 20A1H burner, or the burning software.
Any thoughts?
(I'm attaching the AnyDVD and Nero logs in case it helps anyone.)
