Dual layer break problem


Richard Knight

Recommended Posts

I have produced a music dvd using Premiere and have made a dvd folder in Encore. The main video is VOB 2 (sections 1 to 4) and the bonus tracks are VOB 3,4,5. I have set the layer break to happen between VOB 2 and 3 in Imgburn. I then produced an image and burnt this to a Verbatim DL+R disc and verified it. When playing back on two different dvd players ( both Sony) what seems to be a layer jump happens during the the main music track. This is about two thirds of the way through VOB 2 part 3. On two more different dvd players and any computer it plays fine. I have tried two different burners. I have also re-encoded the MPeg 2 track and made it slightly shorter, the layer jump is still there but in a slightly different place.

Any thoughts?

Is there such a thing as a disc error that looks like a layer jump (picture freezes for half a second and the dolby digital light goed off and on) but is something else?

Open the VIDEO_TS folder in PgcEdit and check to make sure there are no 'layer break' boxes checked in the VTS set you're saying it pauses in.

 

Many thanks that seemed to be the problem, PgcEdit showed that the seemless flag at that point in the recital had been unset. I assume that Encore changed this seemless flag when it tries to set its own layer break even though that is not the layer break used in the final disc. In future when making a dvd folder for a dual layer disc in Encore if I set the disc size to custom 8.4Gb single layer will this stop Encore changing this seemless flag?
