Have you tried another known-good dual-layer disc in the Dell? If it doesn't play, you'll know its the Dell and not your burning setup.<div><br></div><div>Alternatively, do you know someone with a similar Dell computer that has a dual-layer player? If so, try one of your discs in that system.</div>

They lose the second layer (apparently) when I try to play them on My Dell pc (it plays the first half fine). I've tried two different makes of DVD: verbatim and (I think) memorex. I've tried burning them with DVDStudio Pro, with disk utility and with Toast. No difference with this problem. I'm quite sure that the DVD player on my Dell should play them.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions of what I might try next? I'm trying to get a working copy to the person who is funding the replication, and it's nerve-wracking.<br>
<br>
If the DVD is replicated, will that solve this problem? How do I know ahead of time?<br>
