Dual layer dvd writing

[CemB]

Hi
I have a question.I have sony vaio vgn-fs315h laptop. Can I write dual layer dvds with this laptop? It is written double layer dvd+-rw on my laptop.I bought a dual layer dvd from verbatim but my disc writing software doesn't access the disc and I hear funy noises from the driver?
Is it normal?

Hi CemB,

According to the specs for your FS315H your optical drive should support the following..

CD-ROM : 24 x Speed
CD-R : 24 x Speed
CD-RW : 24 x Speed
DVD-ROM : 8 x Speed
DVD +R : 8 x Speed
DVD +RW 8 x Speed
DVD -R : 8 x Speed
DVD -RW : 6 x Speed
DVD Dual Layer : 2.4 x Speed

So what can be the problem?Is it a software problem?Is there any other software that you can suggest to burn dvd?
because the dvd that I bought is dual side dvd and can support 4x.

Hi,

Try another brand, dual layer disks are so fragile that if one thing is out of place then the disk is ruined.

I got the same problem before.. it was the disk,, so try buying a different brand

I have the same problem on my VGN-S3 and S4. I tried 5 different brands of dvd dl and it's does not work anymore ....
I really disappointed by the quality of the matshita drive....
I bought and external usb dvd burner because i really needed something to burn dvd dl. Now even when i put a CD in the drive it seems like a plane at the take off
