Second project was burned fine and I could also play it in my DVD player too ! Thank you very much for your help and your explanations ! Greetings from Argentina, Gonzalo

Thank you kindly blutach for your reply. The burned disc played well in my computer, but not in my standalone DVD player. Anyway, I could finally play the new DVD+R DL (Verbatim) in my standalone DVD player Pioneer following your suggestions of adding the layer break in VTS_05_0.IFO (1766882) ! I still don't understand why I had luck this time. May I ask you (or anybody) a couple of questions please? SPLIP=yes means the playback will be seamless across the layer break (no pause). This is good. So, we don't have to tick seamless on our DL burns ? And we have to choose this one to create the break? SLIP=no means the playback will not be seamless across the layer break (pause). That's not good. So we have to tick seamless on our DL burns ? If you choose this one to create the break, we have to tick seamless? SLIP=N/A If there's an .IFO with an "excellent" legent, should I always put the break on that ? What does it mean "being 50/50" ? All the best, Gonzalo PS: This is the project that it failed to play on DVD Player, will you put the break in the same place like me ?

Hello everybody ! I'm new here and this is my first post. I read a lot of guides, tutorials, posts but I could not find the answer. I burned a DVD+R DL Verbatim with ImgBurn 2.4.1.0 without any errors, the log was fine. (I think) But the problem was when I tried to play this DVD in my standalone DVD player Pioneer DV-373. I inserted the DVD but my Pioneer could not play it. I thought it was the "seamless" option. So I burned it again without that option activated and guess what... I made another coaster ! So, I decided to burn the DVD with another tool, ImgTool Burn 1.2.1, with the option "Use DVD-ROM Booktype" activated. It burned fine and I could play it in my DVD player Pioneer DV-373. The thing is that I heard the silence between caps and I don't like it that way because it is an audio only DVD. I made it with the discography of my favourite band. I followed this tutorial: "CDDA on DVD, aka Audio DVD-Video" at http://forum.videohelp.com/topic193049.html. My conclusions: 1. The media is fine, because the Pioneer could read it when I burned with ImgTool Burn. (I always use Verbatim without any problems/errors) 2. The seamless option is not the problem, because the second time I burned it without that option activated, Pioneer still could not play it. 3. DVD-ROM Booktype activated? I don't know if this is the solution. Anyway, I can't activate that option in ImgBurn because I have an ASUS DRW-1608P3S firmware 1.24. That device is not supported in the "Change Book Type" option. 4. Maybe the problem is when I create the layer break position ? I read a lot about it, but I still can't figure out where to put the break position. I know about the colour of the stars and a green star (which means excellent) is the best option to put the break but I don't know. This is another screen from another project. Not the one with the problem. I choose to put the break in a track menu. I mean, the menu of a CD title. Is the one I choose correct or not. May I put the break in another "excellent" place ? Why is it correct... or... why it is not correct. Sorry, I would like to understand this option a bit more. What happened if I choose a wrong break ? Any help would be highly appreciated.
