Hello,

i've made yesterday a Data DVD DL (Verbatim Double Layer DVD+R) with a LG GSA-4120B fw A104, roxio emc 7 as burn program. Booktype was set to dvd-rom. I tried then to read this dvd with my Toshiba SD-1802 fw J031 and it can read it without problem. In DVDInfo Pro it shows the following:

Windows Explorer properties show 8'265'369'600 Bytes with toshiba drive:

If i make a media test in dvdinfo pro with this disc in the toshiba drive then it report also the wrong size, start and after a few minutes it display a lot of errors. If i stop then it hang and the computer can't shutdown (Windows XP SP2). Must press reset button. My question now: Is this a problem of my system, toshiba drive or a dvdinfo pro problem? I use latest V 3.16

probably the problem here is the toshiba drive, we have seen this problem with some other DL media produced by other drives
