The thing is with Gran Turismo is that the image I have is 4.95 GB because I ripped it myself and I was thinking that if I just burned it on a dual layer disc it would work.

You have no idead how many times I've noticed to my dismay that the anime series I want to burn is just above 4.4 GBs. Those who manufacture DVD-R and the like should start writing the actual amount of storage space on the cover. But then again, these misconceptions originate from the Gigabytes vs. Gibibytes standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I just want to say, don't buy the cheapest thing out there. I bought a 100 pack of Accu brand 4x DVD-R (purple media) about a year ago, and I've been kicking myself because they are basically incompatible with my dvd player (a very touchy LITE-ON LVD-2002). They work fine on my computer though, so I use them for data storage.My favorite site for blank media is cdrdvdrmedia.com. Those Accu discs for example are $30 for 100. The Verbatim 8x are $33 for 50. I want to find something very reliable for around $40-50 per 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
