Reading DL DVDs with single layer drives

[buzz]

I burned my first DL DVD using my Sony DRU720A burner. The disk contains data (photos & Mpegs) and I'm able to read it on the Sony drive. When I try to read it on other DVD drives, hoever, the drive won't recognize the disk. Is this a known issue and is there anything that can be done about it? I already upgraded the firmware on the single layer DVD that I'm trying to read the disk with, but it did not work. Thanks, Ed

Hi Buzz and welcome to our forums. Some older DVD S/L drives cannot read D/L media as you have found out although most will with firmware upgrades. Which D/L media did you record to and with what device where you unable to read the recorded D/L disc?
