  1. Why would you want to join up to the forum and resurrect someone else's 14 year old topic?

    If you have a problem with the way the software is behaving for you, you should make a new thread... like you have done.

    Since 2008, Advanced input mode has been added. You have more control over the disc layout (via the 'disc layout editor' window), so just use that instead of trying to work around things with subst.

  2. And nothing written in the log window when you add the folder?

    Can’t do much more than check the share and ntfs permissions on the drive itself.

    Just double check the build mode options too and make sure you don’t have ‘archive files/folders only’ enabled.

  3. Add the problem folder to the ‘disc layout editor’ (when in Advanced Input mode).

    Does it list all of the files in the folder correctly?

    Does anything get written to the Log window?

    Could just be a permissions problem and it doesn’t have access to the content.

  4. I haven't done this stuff in like 10+ years, so please don't expect me to remember any of it!

    Look at an IFO in IfoEdit and you'll see how DVD Video files are broken down. Perhaps you recall the term PGC ? A PGC is a collection of Cells. They're the Cells I'm talking about.

    It all comes down to the DVD Video specs. A layer break is meant to be put in a certain position (a cell change) and that's the reason for the coloured starts on the layer break selection screen. The more boxes the position ticks, the higher up the star rating chart it goes.

    Pressed discs will have been designed and authored with a layer break position in mind. Unless of course they're 'seamless' ones and you're relying on the player working with a disc that doesn't really comply with the specs. They too may have some padding within the file system (invisible to you) so that a cell change falls in the correct place for burning to disc. Don't forget that pressed discs can be OTP or PTP. For burning, we only have the option of OTP. Different rules apply for each format in terms of layer sizes.
