Burning to DVD

[P51D Mustang]

I've nLitened by XP CD successfully many times when burning to CD.

I added a boatload of apps and had nLite make my ISO.

I've made 3 DVD coasters in a row

I'm hoping there's some DVD burning gurus around: Should I point the finger first at media or my HP640 DVD burner?

All Hail nuhi, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar. nLite is an indispensable tool...

[trickytwista]

how are you burning them and exactly what is the issue?

I'm going to point to the user, since he didn't attempt to tells us what specifically he did and how it doesn't work.

Using Nero 7 & nLite

Create <650 mb ISO, burn to CD, works fine.

Create 900mb ISO, burn to DVD, no joy.

Burn 3 times burns using 2 different DVD media, XP install fails during the file copy stage-can't read file thus and so. It's never the same file that can't be read.

@TrickyTwista

To burn an ISO, I start nero, select File|Open & browse to the file.

I usually selectthe slowest possible speed & burn it.

Perhaps clubcdfreaks would be a more appropriate venue for my questions.

try selecting UDF as file format

has anyone sucessfully burnt a dvd using nlite 1.2 b?

[Innocent Devil]

DVD has compatibility issue , dvd structure need to be at least 1BG of data to be written ( i saw some nero option to comply that - Nero 7)

Then to generate udf file system just add "-udf" to extra option in nLite(mkisofs option)

EDIT:

nlite 1.2 allows direct udf structure creation

I'll try it this weekend-thanks for the info guys.

never had that problem

i just open the ISO file in nero and burn to dvd without a problem

or try Alcohol 120% to burn the ISO

Rats.

Using the nLite version 1.2 RC, I'm still unsuccessful. With a 1.2 Gb ISO, when I capture the image in Virtual PC & restart, I'm left with a black screen with a blinking cursor.

Using one of my CD sized images, nLite/Virtual PC/Nero 7 works fine for building/testing/burning.

I'm at a loss. I guess I could roll back to an earlier version of nLite and see if that fixes the problem.
