Thank you very much. Your posting helped now. Actuallyl I have no further questions. Now it's time for practice. :-) Pat.

Yes, you're certainly right. But DualLayer discs aren't still really chip. Hmm, your message does scary me: Let's pretend I've already set a Layer Break with my DVD Authoring Tool. Then I wanna burn this Video_TS folder with ImgBurn. There I select a different cell as that of the authoring software. So I'll have two LBs on the disc. But this could mean that the disc is not running properly on a DVD-Player. So it is better to let Imgburn set a layerbreak exclusively, right? Sorry for disturbing again! But please write some helping words. Pat.

Hello! This will be my last question, I do not want to annoy you. Your last post does confuse me a little bit: I use the "DVDlab pro" to create a Video-DVD. This software is also able to manually create a Layer Beak. (by writing it to the *.ifo file.) Okay, as the build-in burning device of DVDlabpro does not work, I intend to burn the DVD with ImgBurn. 1) Will ImgBurn honor the Layer Break set by DVDlabpro? 2) Or is it better not to set any LB and let ImgBurn to do this work directly? Thank You! Pat.

Hello! Okay, thank you. I understand. I've no further question. I'm happy BTW: I've discovered a possible reason why some burned DL disc may not run properly after a layer break (I'm sure you know about the fact). My source is from an internet forum post: When you create a DVD-Video with an authoring tool it might set a layer break into the ifo-file. When you then burn the Video-TS folder with Nero, Nero ignores the layer break and places a new one strictly on the half, it could happen that the disc than has two layer break commands. And then it's no big suprise if some DVD players are confused and do not continue playing the video properly. I presume ImgBurn is able to detect an existing layer break and will not add a second one. Or it will delete the former and create a new one. Am I right? PatJay.

Hello and thank you very much for your patience! Finally everthing is said. Why does this come so? I'm just curious: Why is there a difference between a DualLayer DVD-Video and DualLayer data disc? Both have two layers and the laser has to switch from one to the second layer. Can someone explain it in short and easy words? Pat.

Okay, thank you very much. Luckily I plan to operate with DVD+R DL :-) Referring to multisession DL-Data discs I've changed my point, just a very last question: I intend to burn a single session DL now instead of multisession and than if I get new additional data I'll burn the final package as DL DVD Data disc again. So I will finally use two DualLayer discs instead of one. Here is my question: Do I have to pay attention concerning layer break when I want to burn a DualLayer Data-DVD with ImgBurn? Or do I simply threat it as a normal DVD? (Okay I'll will also set bootype to DVD-Rom - but anything else to care of?) Thx. Pat.

Okay. So I have to use Nero 6 instead in this case. Thx, it's interesting to learn. May I ask you how to burn a DVD-Video DualLayer? I install ImgBurn, leave the default settings, import the Video_TS folder and than simply burn it on a DVD-DL? That's all, right? Or do I have to adjust some parameters? Thanks for your help! Pat.

Sorry, I don't understand your comment clearly. In the change log of Version 2.4.2.0 ther is something written about "Multisession": I've never used ImgBurn, so sorry for this strange question: Does your comment mean I will be not able to add folders or files, burn them as Multisession on a DL-Data Disc and later add files to this disc again with ImgBurn? Well, I plan to burn DL DVD-Videos in future. I want to mention that I produce my DVD-Video files with DVDlab Pro and than I burn them with Nero. But this affects to Single Layer only, I've never burnt DL-Discs. To be honest I still would work with Nero 6 to burn Dual Layer discs but there are rumors that Nero is not ideal for that task. So I got the hint to use ImgBurn instead. I don't know if the rumor is true. I am just a home user not a professional. Thank You. Pat.

Hello! I've been told that ImgBurn is very good at burning Dual-Layer DVDs. So I want it to give a try. I normally work with Nero 6. I would like to burn a multisession data disc on a DVD+R DL. Is that possible with ImgBurn? Or should I stay with Nero 6? I do not want to create an image file, I have a folder with about 6GB of data to burn. But it must be a multisession disc because I will add 1 to 2 GB of belonging files to the disc within the next months. What about the layer break which sometimes seems to be a problem? And is it right to set the booktype to DVD-ROM? Generally I am very satisfied with Nero 6 so I don't know if I really should use ImgBurn instead. But I've heard that Nero causes problems in creating a layer break. Thank you. Pat.
