dbminter Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I was wondering. If I have a VIDEO_TS folder that contains a DVD Video that will fit on a DVD-5 and I add files to a Build job to create a DVD Video image that makes the size of the image fit only to a DVD-9 disc image file, there won't be a need to set a layer break for the image, will there? Because the VIDEO_TS contents themselves aren't being split between layers, and non VIDEO_TS data does not need a layer break on a DVD-9. I'm right in thinking that, right? Thanks!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes, that's correct - in theory anyway! Of course the individual layers on DVD-9 discs aren't quite the the size of an actual DVD-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well, I decided to put the theory paritally to the test. I took a DVD-5 sized VIDEO_TS folder into a Build job and then added some files to the job until the image disc size reached DVD-9. When I built the image to HD, it didn't ask me for a layer break for the video. Which was what we had predicted would happen anyway. I didn't burn the disc, though, but, creating the image should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just know that if your VIDEO_TS exceeds the size of an individual layer, the program will prompt for a layer break. You may still be able to burn it to a DVD-5 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
