I've got a Lite-On DVD burner installed in my system. It's the 1633S model,
I think. I'm using Nero OEM suite to burn DVD's. The drive supports dvd+r dl
disks. When I go to create a dvd video, Nero Express only will recognize it
as a standard disk, 4.37 GB instead of the 8.35 GB or what ever it's
supposed to be. Any ideas?

Thanks

Craig

You need the full version.

Right off hand I would say you need the 'retail' version.

What version of Nero is it - as in 6.x.x.x?
Try updating it.

Any version shipped with the drive should support all the features of the
drive. It usually does, anyway...

Not the dumbed down express version..

Two. One - the drive IS a dual layer drive, right?

Second - Update to the latest version of Nero in that ballpark
(i.e., if you're running 6.0.x.y to 6.3.x.y, update to the latest 6.3.x.y
from their web site).

Funny - NeroExpress 6.3.1.25 does dual layer on three of my machines
.... albeit I've only tried one in each B)

No it doesn't hance the updates which not only update recognised drives
but also media. Also one of the 6.x.x.x updates added dual layer
support AFAIR.

Although I've never installed Nero Express from OEM CD's, since I have a
perfectly good working copy of Nero 6.X (complete), I have installed bundled
Roxio software and I've never had a drive that offered a feature that the
bundled software didn't support. If the drive usually does 8X or 16X when it
came out, the bundled Media Creator always supported it. Same way with Dual
Layer. Maybe LiteOn is cheap about it? I have a LiteOn 1673 dual layer DVD,
but it's on a Linux system, so I never tried the bundled software.
