[ISO versus MDS]

Memorex are probably ritek.

 

Stick with verbatim DL discs, nothing else.

 

The Memorex DLs I just bought are Ritek, and my NEC 3500A won't touch 'em.

 

And I agree about the Verbatim DLs; I've never had a problem with them.

In that case, none of the cells were ok for layer breaks.

 

So that disc has a cell the spans it and may crash / jump more than normal at the layer switch.

 

You would have gotten a message in the log to that effect.

 

DVDLab Pro indicated also that there was no suitable point to place a layer break. I was told to place a chapter break in the acceptable zone and turn that into a layer break, but I didn't want a layer break that users could access as a chapter point. Any suggestions as to how to ensure an acceptable layer break zone?

The video I was burning is of an American football game I captured. I'm posting the pcgedit display here:

 

I don't see a layer break indicated, but then perhaps I'm going about this all wrong...

I used DVDLab Pro to create the DVD files (with four chapters, including the beginning), and DVD Shrink (without compression, of course) to produce the ISO file.

I was under the impression that ImgBurn would automatically calculate the layer break for a dual-layer DVD+R DL. I did a test burn this evening, and while the burn was reported as good, pcgedit didn't show me a standard layer break. Am I missing something really obvious here?

 

Thanks in advance!
