Burning a Dual Layer DVD of a Single Layer Image

Recommended Posts

I don't have any single layer discs, only dual layer discs. I created an image of a single layer DVD movie but when I tried to burn the image with ImgBurn to a dual layer disc I got a message like this:

 

this image has not been mastered correctly for burning onto a double layer (OTP track path) disc.

 

None of the cells meet the 'DVD-video specification' criteria for a potential layer break position

 

 

However I just clicked ignore and burned it anyway and it played fine in my crappy TV/DVD combo but I'm just wondering if it's safe to ignore that message?

You'd have to burn the VIDEO_TS folder/files directly to the DVD+R DL disc, you wouldn't be able to make an image first as it would know the files fit on a single layer disc and just build a single layer image.

 

*ok, that isn't 100% true, you could adjust the single layer media size right down so it exceeds that and then builds an image for a DL disc. Just don't forget to revert the single layer media size when you're done. :)
