Blizzard Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hey all I can make AVIC-D3 "backup" DVD NAV discs for anyone who might need/want them. Just thought that I would try to help out those who don't have a dual-layer burner... I'm not really looking to profit (much) but here is what I propose. If you think it's fair and you are interested, just send me an email: mbunting@gmail.com 1 Dual-Layer DVD NAV disc (West or East) with no fancy stickers or labels on the DVD - just a plain DL DVD with the disc (West or East) of your choice on it - as I often find that the labels cause problems. $15.00 and this includes USPS Priority Shipping (2-3 day average) For both discs (West and East) = $20.00 Payment via Paypal or Money order only Again, I'm just offering this out there for those that are interested. if you have the resources to do it yourself - by all means do just that! If you don't have the resources and need a backup copy, and you think my proposal is worth it - just let me know. I'm in the Military and I don't have a ton of free time to do this - but I'll do what I can. Again, email me or PM here on th forum if you are interested.

tillithz Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 have you actually burned a copy yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blizzard Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yes, I have... Burned a WEST Coast dvd yesterday - tested all day today - works perfectly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 slick, for the others here, you wanna describe the process? and media used? thanks p.s. IM thinking that maybe the new pioneer cares about dvd+r or -r or rom DL meaning if you burn a disk that is a +r dl for example, and your drive doesnt change the bitsetting to dvd-rom like the pioneer 11* units do, then maybe the pioneer will reject it....

Blizzard Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sure -Using NERO Burning ROM 7 - New Compilation - DVD Copy - Dual Layer Media (8.5GB) (GQ DVD+R DL 2.4X) - The brand name I'm using is "Great Quality" or "GQ" - purchased at Fry's Electronics this past weekend. Have Fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 No special steps required, just a dl drive and burning software. I used toast 8 and plextor drive with Verbatim +r dl disk. The disk arnt copy protected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phanon_TC Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 i used imgburn which is free and worked great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Backups are particularly useful with the D3 since you're more likely to swap the map DVD for a movie or music CD. The likelihood of scratches increases over the fixed D1/D2 drives. I've also successfully burned a copy and can not tell the difference in performance from my burned copy and the original.

tillithz Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 so this should help some people (cntrylvr) also, do you guys know if your drive auto sets bitsetting to dvd-rom or if its still seen as a +r Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phanon_TC Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 my pioneer dvr-111d has bitsettings to dvd-rom by default Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 yeah thats what i was figuring, its the other guys that it would be important to know, would clear things up for some of us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Im not sure with my Plextor, but it worked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 My Plextor PX-740A has a 1 time manual setting. DVD-ROM is the way to go for increased compatibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 PX-740A here too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 so this should help some people (cntrylvr) also, do you guys know if your drive auto sets bitsetting to dvd-rom or if its still seen as a +r I had no problems making copies of the d3 discs. I had problems making a valid hybrid disc that the d1/2 would recognize. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
