Thanks, I hadn't seen that yet, but I saw blutarch's article which doesn't really sound like
the same problem. PGC Edit doesn't report any problem with the image when I mount it
in Daemon-Tools. It may just be AnyDVD that sees a problem. Or the DVDs might be off
spec somehow. I haven't been able to find much about the error message. The images
play OK, but I don't want to risk burning until this is fixed.
If it helps, I made the files with DVD Shrink, Re-Author Mode. Then I created an image
with IB2 build mode. I'm sure LUK would have tested re-authored files. This may apply
to all dual layer images. It doesn't seem to be a critical problem, but I haven't tested it
with any stand-alone players. Hopefully it's minor and can be fixed.

I have tried using ImgBurn to create a dual layer image with seamless layer break.
Every time I mount the image in Daemon-Tools, AnyDVD says "This Video-DVD is
mastered incorrectly. AnyDVD will be deactivated for this DVD."
EDIT: This problem happens even if I leave the seamless option unchecked.
I've never had this error before and have been using seamless layer breaks in the
past through PGC Edit and just burning DVD Shrink Images. (They play fine in my
stand-alone machines.) Any ideas what might be wrong here?
SuperBit and many Criterion DVDs have seamless layer break, which proves that
players can handle it. I've never seen AnyDVD report this problem with Criterion
or SuperBit DVD titles, so this isn't normal. Something is broken.

I'd like an option to check for updates Daily, Weekly, and Monthly, instead of just
every time the program starts. What do you think, LUK and others? Thanks.

you dont say what OS you're using but if its xp you might consider converting to NTFS and it wont be an issue.You can also remove and re install Shrink and see if that helps
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2. I've always had this problem with Shrink not being able
to recognize 3.99 GB files on FAT32. I have found NTFS to be unreliable, in that several
drives have had lost data or corrupted files. This has occurred often enough to be noted
as a definite pattern. The FAT32 drives have never lost data.
I use NTFS for my system partition and another drive, but I have found FAT32 to be a
more reliable bet. Files on NTFS become corrupted at random, in my experience. Many
people don't notice this, but I suggest quickly running through all of your MP3 files or
viewing all of your photos. You may find that 1% are garbage.
Microsoft can't do much of anything right, as I'm sure many of you know. Their new NT
file system just introduces a lot of new problems, IMO. I use an UPS, antivirus, firewall,
and other safeguards. Still, I have lost NTFS data repeatedly.

If everything else can use the images ok I would think it's DVD Shrinks problem.
I guess its image loading code just can't cope or has a bug in it.
You'll have to stick with 2 GB as obviously that program isn't being updated now.
Thanks, LUK. I'm still curious if others have seen this problem. There's no
technical reason that Shrink shouldn't be able to read the files. FAT32 will
allow file sizes up to 3.99 GB. Every other program can handle the image
files. But it might be a configuration problem with my computer or Shrink.
That's why I'm interested if others have this problem.
If anyone has a link to something addressing this as a bug in Shrink. I'd
like to see it. This scared me the first time, because I thought the HD was
going bad. It's probably a limitation in Shrink's code. Afterall, Shrink uses
1 GB file splitting when writing an ISO to FAT32 drives.

I don't know if this is a problem with ImgBurn, Shrink, or my PC. When I create ISOs split to
3.99 GB on FAT32 drive, Shrink can't open or analyze the MDS file. "DVD Shrink encountered
an error and cannot continue. Failed to open file XXXXX.I00."
The image can be mounted with Daemon-Tools and played. I can analyze the mounted image
with Shrink. It burns and plays fine. But the image can't be loaded in Shrink. Has anyone else
had this problem? Any solutions?
I found that using 2 GB splitting or smaller on FAT32 will fix it, but I prefer to I use 3.99 GB.
I asked LUK about this a while ago and he said it should work. I used to have this problem
with DVDD as well. I had to use 2 GB file splitting on FAT32 drives.
Check For Updates Less Often
in ImgBurn Suggestions
Posted · Edited by calweycn
I would prefer it check less often, for privacy mainly. Call me paranoid, but I'd
rather LUK not know what days my IP address runs his software. I leave update
check turned off most of the time, and check free-codecs to see if any software
has been updated (ImgBurn, PGC Edit, AnyDVD, DVDFab...).
