DVD DL media to duplicate NAV 6.1 DVD

Like I said in the other topic the Prius should read DVD-R DL just fine if you can burn -R DL. DVD-R DL discs conform to the DVD standard by default and are readable by almost all DVD players even older ones. DVD+R DL discs do not conform to the DVD standard but are close enough that most DVD players should be able to read them but no all do. This is the case of the Prius navigation drive. It cant read a DVD+R DL disc so you have to trick it by setting the book type to DVD-R when you burn. Here is the important part. Your DVD burner AND software MUST support changing the book type when burning DVD+R DL media or the burner must automatically set it its self when burning a DVD-R DL disc. My burner for my car PC is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K05. I was able to burn a DVD+R DL and it automataclly set the book type as DVD-R. This backup worked in my Prius just fine. I havnt tried DVD-R DL discs yet because I dont have any but I think they should work just fine as they are already DVD-R format.

Thank you very much for the info., greatly appreciated. Although I CAN change book-type, I have NO DL media left and have to buy new (again) so this time I will "start off" with DVD -R DL Media and see how it goes from there. I'll probably buy a small 3-pack or 5-pack.

My cheapy E521 Dell burns DVD-R no problem.

I have no doubt the Dell OEM unit I have in my XPS410, TSST (Samsung) DVD+-RW TSH653A, will be able to handle the -R media or even the added Plextor 755SA internal burner in second bay, but it was mainly what the Toyota NAV "wants to read" and from the reply from "TheForce" I am now convinced to start off with DVD -R DL Media.

I was commenting on the prior post suggesting +r was required by the hardware, since that would not appear to be the case with all Dells.

Get the top one, with the orange box, and the +R. I use those.

I have successfully burned 5 copies of the 6.1 (modified with the 5.1 override) discs, and all have worked extremely well.
I use a Mac, but i'm sure they're just as compatible with Windows software like Nero and all that.

Dell uses five of six different OEM SATA DVD +- RW DL drives in the Dimension/XPS line, depending on what they happen to have in stock the days of the builds. Some are OEM Samsung 183's w/o lightscribe called TSST TSH653A, while others are Lite-On's, etc. Not every Dell OEM burner "tolerates" all -R's and some Dell DVD burners are very "fussy" about the actual DVD media used, even if +R !! This is why in my newest Dell XPS410 computer I added a second burner, a Plextor 755SA which is supposed to be very tolerant with all types of CD/DVD media and "friendly" with most, if not all, CD/DVD Burn Software....

Hi
I am new to this forum so please delete this if it is off topic. I found this forum from a google search looking for the gen 2 (2002 camry) 6.1 dvd. I was wondering where i can get a dual layer "back up" wink wink nudge nudge for a few bucks? OR where i can find a t-o-r-r-e-n-t of it to download? if anyone has the gen2 that works on a 2002 camry and can spare a copy for a few bucks plus shipping, please email me. $200-$300 for merely updating the maps is pure BS! thanks
