Double Layer DVD
Has anybody tried playing a double layer DVD in the 2005 single disk slot? Or does anybody know whether or not the player is capable of playing double layer DVD discs?

I recall reading something in the manuals about the thickness of the DVD's/CD's.. I think it's not supposed to exceed 3mm, or something like that.
So, if your double-layered DVD exceeds those specs.. I guess it might get stuck.
Check the COMMAND docs, under single CD player specifications.

Miguk,
A double layered DVD is not physically double thick. They are the same size as a regular DVD.
Dema,
Hmm...really? Yes, burned double layer MP3 DVDs. I guess I'll try it then. I was just hoping that this has already been confirmed because I would only burn it for use in the car and double layer DVDs are relatively expensive.

Just came across this TSB:
P-82_00-260 JUL 03 Audio System - Dual Sided CD's Won't Eject
You might want to look into that. My source: AllData.Com item #49.

And to add to the above, most Hollywood movies are dual layer.
The question here is about disks made by dual layer burners.

That's why I would like to know if it works before I burn one of these. Yes, DL discs are very expensive. And besides being expensive, it takes a very long time to burn one. I see Newegg has a 5-pack for $49.00.

What I have come to realize about the single slot player is that it has problems with a fast-burn DVD, which now really makes me wonder if it can handle dual-layered discs. Even a 8x played on my home DVD players but had serious problems in the E. On one particular track it actually shut the whole car down. I have no idea how the DVD player can affect the car's computer, but it did. I have had no problems with 4x DVD burns.

Derek, I think I read a post of yours that said you burned it as a data disc. You want to burn it as an MP3 disc instead. But then, are you certain that your head unit is capable of playing mp3s?

I have a 2004 E55, no euro headunit. I've tried putting DVD's in the in-dash cd player, 6-disk cd player, and DVD nav in the trunk. None work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible for me to play a DVD in my car w/o a euro unit? Also, does anyone know if the cd players in our cars are capable of reading MP3 format music CD's? Thanks

Anyone ever got dual layer dvds to work?
I burn Music Videos on DVD-R and DVD+R for my euro command and they play just fine... Even at 8x speed burning.... I've tried burning my music videos on a DVD+R DL and haven't gotten it to work yet... I'm using the Memorex DVD+R DL 2.4X. I also Bitsetting the disc to DVD-ROM booktype for compatibility issues. I just bought the fujifilm ones and will try that
