Maybe your writer do not support writing Dual Layer DVD's or may be it's a DVD Media Problem. Try using different brand or drop the idea of burning Dual Layer DVD

Dont waste DVDs. If you are using Nero then select Simulation on the "Final Burn Settings" page by clicking on aero. Simulation will let you know writing will successfully possible or not
