Thanks for the reply - here's the deets on my capture equipment.
I'm using Pinnacle's DAZZLE DVD system.
The software (to my knowledge) supports burning only to single-layer discs.
You can "burn" to a hard disk folder and exceed the 4.7G folder size (which is how I got into this mess),
but there's no settings for adding layer break info. You can also capture more than 120m of video, but the quality is reduced, in kind.
As you can see above, in my reply to LxUK, I do get the EOTW message - shame on me for not mentioning that before! Dang it, I was trying to provide all the relevant info.
I tried creating a layer break with the "Create DVD file" and "Create MDS file" but no luck. I'll also admit that I did NO research on what those options are for. By the time I found those options, I was already pissy at the lack of progress in figuring this thing out.
