DVD-9 Seamless option

[DougB]

I would like to try a seamless DVD on my player.

 

(1) Will it just not load when I put the DVD in, or lock up when it gets to a certain point if my DVD player doesn't support it?

(2) If it will lock up how do I know where at in the movie it will lock up at?

(3) Do I check the don't update box next to seamless option?

1. The issues I've read about is that it "freezes" at the layer break.

2. Use the preview window to see the location you selected as the layer break. The selected chapter should give you info on when the layer break is on the burned disc.

3. If you check mark that box - nothing will be changed in the ifo files and that is not what you want. Keep it unchecked.

Will this freeze lock up the DVD player?

No idea. I have some very low budget stand alone players and all of those have no issues with the seamless option. Try and see what happens with your player.

So has anyone had a problem with their DVD player locking up if the Seamless option isn't compatable with the player?

There is a discussion about this option and players in this thread.

I can't remember a thread in this forum about people who have complaint that their player didn't liked the option, so my feeling is that the option works well for people who use it.
