Will this compress doubler-layer DVDs to a single-layer DVD?

yes, it can compress double layer DVDs to fit single layer 5gb DVDs, but the program can only do one task a time, and is very slow. Even it says it duplicates in 30 minutes, it is far from that. On average it takes about 3 hours to make one copy, and it does not offer to store in hard drive after copy is done.

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.

Not without knowing more than just "I can't...convert my DVDs." People can't provide help when they don't even know what they're trying to help you with. Please be more specific in what step of the process you're having problems with and what you're trying and what's happening when you try it, as well as anything else that could be helpful information to anyone attempting to assist you.

Well if you need two regular DVD's, now all you will need is one. Be careful, some older systems will not read these dual layer DVDs also. I like em because I can put a lot of movies these to send to my Brother. 15 instead of 6.

I agree with sixsixtysix as I have burned a 3D disc. However, you will need ripping/burning software which can handle 3D. Some software can even compress a dual layer disc to a single layer disc.

No I don't think so. It functions with an SD card, which is better because you can then transfer that to your computer and make dvds.

I'm not sure it this duplicator can burn double layer cd/dvd's. I do know that I've made copies of several DVD's that contained three to four sermon's that were each one hour long and they worked out just fine.

I do not see why not. This is just a larger capacity storage digital video data disc. The only way I could see it not working is if the drives and readers are old, and not able to read dual layer high capacity disc. I have a DVD player from 2001 which does not recognize DVDR but everything else I own plays them fine.

I've only copied DVD to DVD or CD to CD with it. I've never tried DVD to CD or CD to DVD, so I am unsure...but my guess is that it will not.

You will have to buy a thicker slice disk. There is a medium slice disk and a thick slice disk. Amazon sells these also.

The disc capacity limits the amount of info it can hold..not the machine. A standard DVD can hold 4.7 gb (approx 2 hours). A Double layer DVD can hold 8.5 GB of info. (almost twice as much - 4-hours). Your machine will copy dual layer discs if your master is a dual layer disc...the machine automatically adjusts for the dual layers. Dual layer discs will play on most modern DVD players no problem!

Both it will pretty much burn anything from cdrs to bluray mdiscs, I believe it is quad layer capable.

IT WILL PROVIDED THE ORIGINAL IS NOT PROTECTED WITH ANY FORM OF A "COPYGUARD" - It must also fit on a standard DVD blank time wise or you will need to buy special "double layered" DVD blanks that will provide extra time. Copies are virtually undetectable from the originals and are done at high speed. I love my unit.

Don't know. Have not tried that yet. Sorry I didn't have an answer for you. It is a great drive for single layer which is what I use it for.

Not that I am aware of. This is the second batch of 8X double layer from this company that does not work for coping backup movies to DVD. As far as just storing data they work just fine.

I think so. I have only used DVD -R discs and not +R discs, so not 100% sure, but I believe it will copy both.
