Will this unit burn Double Layer Disc (50 Gig's)? I noticed that the 50's were NOT supported on the LG 6x, LG 8x and a couple more units. Thanks in advance.

I haven't had any problems burning any dvd/br formats. Hope this helps; good luck!

It will burn Double Layer Disc (50 Gig) if you have the appropriate software.

It will support 50 gigs but make sure that you DO NOT buy the LTH of any brand blue ray blank media those do not work with this machine. Apparently they have a special coating on them. I have written over 60 50 gb double layer disks and did not have a problem.

Yes it will...as a matter of fact the sole reason I purchased this unit was as a tool to archive, not to create Bluray movies. I have burned in excess of 20 disks and have yet to make a coaster. The unit comes with basic burning software that will burn to Bluray disks (including the DLs), but will not master Bluray movies. I use a freebie that works well for me called StarBurn; it's more versatile than the included app.

I used 16gb sd card w no problem. Never bothered with disc. Must say that I am very disappointed with this unit.

I don't think software is a problem, but I think they recommend that a recent LG drive be used to burn the DVD. My writers are of that type. so I can't vouch for any others.

According to the specs on the lg.com website yes you can burn DVD-RW at speeds up to 6x.

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)

They work very well with my LG burners and CyberLink Blu-ray Disk suite software. I use the Power2Go option to burn whole disc images and backup folders. I get very reliable 4X burns.

I have never used Dual Layer discs. The unit has been working fine with the inexpensive office store discs that we use.

These two items do not really compare. The M-Disk is a permanent burn that will last for what tests indicate hundreds or even thousands of years because the data layer is a crystal that the laser burns through. All the other discs are short lived due to decay of the data layer over time.You will need a burner that has the M-disk label I think most or all of the latest LG burners do it, you can check with the LG webpage. I think for older models its a matter of a driver update.

As far as I know my Mac (which is down in CA currently) can read any disk I put in , I doubt it is double layer. Frankly I do not think I have ever run into double layer DVDs. Check the Apple help line, they may advise you. Sorry I am not more help.

The Memorex DVD+R-DL are Duel Layer. Yes they are what the picture shows. Word of caution though: they do not burn movies on my DVD LG Multi writer, but they write data only perfectly.

You need an LG burner that has the M-Disc logo in order to burn discs, but M-Disc is playable on any brand DVD player

I bought the LG DP781 in the US. I run the "LG5000.zip" and it worked....but ....as soon as I switched it off and turn it on again I get "disc error" for any disc/any zone.Any ideas?

I have no idea what version the discs are. I use an LG Blu-ray burner..no problem!Have burned double layer as well without any difficulty on my Mac.

That is how I burn MKV to a DVD-R disc--as a DATA disc. Then when it comes up, I select it and it plays, unless it happens to be something the LG doesn't like. There are a few videos in MKV containers it will not play on disc but will play on a USB stick.

Unfortunately no... my device also failed on me and I tried purchasing the disc player on its own and LG told me they stored manufacturing this product

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.
