Sonic Record Now and Dual Layer DVD disk burning

Question

My XPS gen 3 came with Sonic RecordNow burning software (version 7.1).

There is no option that I can see which permits burning to Dual Layer DVD's.

Do I have to purchase additional software for dual layer DVD burning?

Your Sonic software should burn the dual-layer format just fine however, this is contingent upon you having a DVD burner that support it as well.  If yours' does, it should be no problem...the burner & software will recognize the dual-layer media with no user interaction required.

I do have a dual layer burner. I thought I would find an option in the software to click for dual layer burning. Appreciate the info.  Message Edited by scoobydooby on 10-06-2004 05:15 PM

Glad to hear that, esp. since it came with your dual layer support drive. Regards, Jane

Scooby, It looks like dual-layer support started in version 7.2. http://www.sonic.com/products/recordnow/recordnow/whatsnew.asp Good luck, Jane

The Dell 8400 I'm typing this on shipped with Sonic's Version 7.1, Build: 710b26a and it handles the dual-layer format just fine.  I just put a (compressed) 7.23GB HDD image on a single, dual-layer DVD.

I just received a response from Sonic RecordNow Support,  confirming what Dan Manley has said:   'Your version 7.1 of RecordNow! will work with your dual layer drive. No upgrade is necessary to take advantage of this feature.'
