One final question on this... How does ImgBurn decide what to make available for a break point? I put 9x20 minute episodes onto a dual layer disc. The ideal transition break is right after episode 4 finishes before episode 5 starts. On my most recent compilation, ImgBurn does not even give me any options that it ranks above average. How can I make it insert a layer break where I want it to?

Here is a screenshot of exactly what ImgBurn preselected for the layer break point. Is this the best? Or should I have chosen the VTS_05.VOB? What does SPLIP mean?

I have a Toshiba DVD set top player that plays my discs flawlessly. I have been recording TV series on my HTPC and have finally started to put them onto Dual Layer Verbatim discs. I am using TMPGEnc Author 1.6 to build the DVD Video and menu. When I burn with IMGBurn, it prompts me to choose where I want to layer break. I select right before the 5th episode, VTS_05. Ther are 9 episodes per disc. It burns without problem. On my menu, I choose the 5th episode. DVD player starts making a sound as if the laser is continuously searching. If I choose episide 4, no problem. If I choose episode 6, no problem. Episode 5 locks up my DVD player to the point where I have to unplug the power. This never happened with any DL discs I burned with Nero. Nero added the layer break wherever and it was a real pain to have the thing pause for a second or 2 in the middle but it at least allowed me to play it completely. Anyone have any ideas? I know I'm new to this forum but I'm not that new to this kind of stuff. Thanks in Advance.
