I am trying to copy a movie onto a DVD but ?

Question

When I insert the BLANK DVD I get a message saying insert a double layer DVD , this DVD is a single layer. My issue is that I have burned DVD before and I never got this message until now. Any suggestions?

And how do I know what a single layer and double layer should read like?

Answer 1

if u are burning more than 4.2gb u have to use double layer

Answer 2

You might have enabled the option of source DVD to a DVD-9 and not and DVD-5. Change it back to DVD-5. That should do it.

Answer 3

You need to run that movie through DVD Shrink to compress it

A double layer is a full movie without compressiopn
